In 2008, we celebrated our 65th year of service since our founding in 1943 as the Charlottesville and Albemarle War and Community Fund by the Charlottesville Regional Chamber of Commerce. Our local leaders of that era were charged with raising funds from this area of Virginia for World War II efforts, and had the foresight to include community needs in that fund drive as well. From their vision to provide in an organized way for those with the greatest need, or at the greatest risk, evolved what is now the United Way-Thomas Jefferson Area.

In celebration of 65 years of service our United Way Historian, Jim Kennan, along with assistance from local volunteer, Beth Shannon, dug through years of meeting minutes, marketing materials, newspaper clippings, and photos to create the following posters and booklet. Over the next year the posters will be displayed at a variety of public places for everyone to enjoy, so keep an eye out for them! If you would like a printed copy of the history booklet, contact Kim Connolly by email or at 434.972.1716. Thank you Jim and Beth for your hard work to help us preserve our history while at the same time painting a beautiful picture of how we have grown since 1943.
