United Way of Mid Coast Maine's History:The Bath Area United Fund was formed in 1956, with the Brunswick United Fund starting just two years later in 1958.
In 2006, UWMCM celebrated 50 years of results. 50 years of improving people’s lives. 50 years of local people committed to our mission: volunteering, contributing, and raising and distributing donor contributions. 50 years of unparalleled support from our business community. 50 years of outstanding work by our local partner agencies. UWMCM has so many people to thank. Everything we do today, and everything we will do in the future, rests on the shoulders and the dedication and commitment of people who went before us. The early board members and campaign fundraisers built a foundation and reputation that has provided rock solid support for the people of our Mid Coast Maine community. |
