United Way of Orange County (UWOC) hosted its annual Mission in Motion Luncheon on October 23, bringing together Workplace Campaign Chairs and Co-Chairs to celebrate their commitment to supporting local programs and improving the quality of life across Orange County.

The luncheon provided an opportunity for campaign leaders to connect, learn more about the impact of workplace giving, and hear firsthand how contributions support local residents. Partner Agency speakers Harvey Zernial of the Southeast Texas Food Bank and Alice Webster of Stable Spirit shared how these dollars help their organizations serve individuals and families throughout the community.

Captain Tiffany Salgado of The Salvation Army welcomed attendees with an opening prayer and blessing of the meal, as The Salvation Army hosted this year's gathering.

A memorable highlight was the famous Mary McKenna Can, which reinforced a simple but powerful message: No amount is too small to make a difference. Every contribution, regardless of size, can help provide resources and opportunities to those who need them most.

UWOC extends its appreciation to the Workplace Campaign Chairs and Co-Chairs who dedicate their time and energy to encouraging workplace giving. Their leadership helps connect local generosity with the programs and services that strengthen Orange County.

Through workplace campaigns and the support of community partners, United Way of Orange County continues to unite people and resources to build a stronger community.

United Is The Way.
