I rise today to recognize United Way of the Bradford Area as they celebrate 100 years of dedicated service to our community. Since 1925, the United Way chapter has been a driving force in improving lives across McKean and Potter Counties. From supporting food pantries and emergency shelters to investing in youth mentorship, mental health resources, and financial literacy programs, they have touched every corner of our community. Their commitment to education, health, and financial stability ensures that families in need are never alone. The United Way brings people together, nonprofits, businesses, volunteers, and donors, with the common goal to improve lives by mobilizing the caring power of communities worldwide to advance a common good. They have proven time and time again that when a community unites, anything is possible. Mr. Speaker, I thank the staff; the board members; the partner agencies; and countless volunteers for their compassion, leadership, and hard work which have made our region a better place to live, work, and raise a family. Congratulations to the United Way of the Bradford Area on a century of service.
