United Way of Denton County announced the disbursement of $118,425 from its COVID-19 Relief Fund to support neighbors in Denton County struggling financially in the wake of the local COVID-19 pandemic response.
The Denton County Commissioners Court allocated $60,000 to the COVID-19 Relief Fund (CRF), established and administered by United Way of Denton County to provide financial assistance to support individuals and families in Denton County impacted in the wake of the local COVID-19 pandemic response.
A single mom of four young children received the much-needed gift of mobility this holiday season as the recipient of a refurbished 2016 Chevrolet Malibu thanks to Farmers Insurance, James Wood AutoPark, and United Way of Denton County.
Farmers Insurance donated the car through their “Rides for Hope” program.
Dr. Roy Watson likes to volunteer. And he’s proud to be the oldest (in more ways than one!) volunteer for the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program of United Way of Denton County.
The educator who taught English for 34 years at both the college (Bishop) and high school (Dallas ISD) levels, retired in 1998 at age 60 but “wasn’t ready to put my feet up.”
Roy moved to Aida, OK after retirement where he started volunteering to do other people’s taxes.
“I enjoy doing taxes,” explained Roy. “I like the challenge. It keeps my mind busy.”
