United Way distributes face masks to protect our community

Williamsport, Pa. – Earlier this year, the Lycoming County United Way (LCUW) was a recipient of 500 masks from the United Way of North Central Mass (UWNCM), and on December 3, LCUW received a second shipment of 1,500 masks.

UWNCM was approached earlier in the year by a corporate partner, which asked for help with a philanthropic initiative that would help with the COVID-19 crisis.
