Albemarle Area United Way launched the Community Care Collaborative (CCC), a faith-based initiative designed to help residents facing unexpected crises by connecting them with resources and support. Partnering with local churches and community volunteers in Camden and Pasquotank counties, the CCC aims to provide coordinated assistance and improve outcomes for individuals and families in need. Monica Oakes was hired to lead the new program.

Albemarle Area United Way exceeded its 2019 fundraising goal, raising more than $450,000 and marking its strongest campaign in years. Announced during the annual Campaign Kickoff and Awards Luncheon, the record-breaking effort will provide approximately $236,000 in support to partner agencies across the region. The milestone reflects the generosity of donors, workplace campaigns, and a growing number of Keel Club members committed to strengthening local communities.

Our 2019 community event was a tremendous success, bringing hundreds of neighbors together at Waterfront Park while raising more than $20,000 to support programs and services that improve lives across the Albemarle Area. Thanks to the generosity of participants, sponsors, and volunteers, the event made a meaningful local impact. We look forward to continuing this family-friendly tradition and serving our community together.
