Kim Slaughter & The United Way of Central Arkansas
This year I committed myself to giving back to the community that has been so good to me. That is why I am so happy and excited to be elected to the Central Arkansas chapter of the United Way. I look forward to ensuring the needs of everyone, from infants to seniors in our community, are met. I feel so honored to be a part of something so wonderful and far greater than anything I could achieve on my own.
The United Way is a great organization that supports and helps the community. Their mission statement is as follows: United Way of Central Arkansas will improve and enhance the lives of people in our communities by addressing and meeting their needs through the generosity and work of advocates, volunteers and donors.
