History

United Way of Randolph County was founded in 1956 as the United Fund of Greater Asheboro. The first campaign goal was only $36,000, but with Mr. T. Henry Redding serving as the chair, over $56,000 was raised to benefit 10 agencies. Since then, the citizens of Randolph County have come a very long way allowing the United Way of Randolph County to invest over $25 million to the community over the past 50 years.

As the needs of the community have changed, United Way has adapted to meet those needs. In 1981, the United Fund of Greater Asheboro became United Way of Randolph County to reflect a commitment to countywide service. Today, United Way of Randolph County supports health and human services to all areas of the county through the funding of 25 agencies and 40 programs. This broad network of services supports one out of every two residents of Randolph County through United Way’s initiatives which: help children and youth succeed, strengthen and empower families, promote health and self-sufficiency and support independent living.

Mission Statement:

United Way of Randolph County provides leadership to raise funds and to partner with others to build a stronger, healthier community.
