The United Way of Eddy County (UWEC) felt the love this past Valentine’s Day, both from Chevron and for the communities it serves.
UWEC has announced a $20,000 donation from Chevron to its organization’s Hardship Fund, which works to provide struggling local families with immediate needs.
Chevron helped the United Way establish the Hardship Fund during the COVID-19 pandemic to provide emergency food, housing and other supports to vulnerable residents. With support from generous donors, the Hardship Fund continues to spread the love in the community, providing neighbors with swift access to resources and aid, such as help with utility bills, food pantries and distributions, veteran services, mental health support, clothing, prescription medications and housing support.
UWEC says generous donations from community partners to the Hardship Fund are having a direct and meaningful impact on their neighbors. Seeing that impact firsthand would warm any heart.
Katelyn Maxwell, Chevron Delaware Basin West New Mexico operations superintendent, is grateful for the work that the United Way and other community members do that makes Eddy County a great place to live and work.
“It is a privilege to support our neighbors in need, especially those who are struggling with housing and food security,” Maxwell said. “We love collaborating with the United Way on this Hardship Fund because we have seen the difference it has made in the lives of Eddy County residents.”
United Way encourages everyone to join them this month in falling in love with their community. Find out how you can support the UWEC’s Hardship Fund by contacting Executive Director Kyle Marksteiner.
