ANDALUSIA, ALA.– United Fund contributions touch citizens of all ages, races and socio-economic status throughout Covington County. Whether it’s a Boy or Girl Scout, recovering drug addict, local church congregation, 4-H leaders-in-training or avid reader, local dollars reach them all.

PowerSouth and its employees have strengthened The United Fund’s reach with a contribution of $11,060 to the Covington County United Fund. The United Fund raises money to enable member agencies to deliver human care services in the local area. The United Fund supports more than 21 organizations, including the American Red Cross, Boy Scouts, Meals on Wheels, Sav-A-Life Pregnancy Center and public libraries. Through its donation, PowerSouth helps improve the lives of hundreds of Covington County citizens.

“Through The United Fund, we have the opportunity to give to causes that will build our community and strengthen humanity,” said Mark Ingram, PowerSouth Communications Manager. “We chose to donate funds to the Covington County United Fund because of their commitment to creating safe and healthy local communities.”

Charitable giving and community service go hand-in-hand with one of PowerSouth’s core values — community development.

“PowerSouth strives to cultivate the best possible opportunities for the communities in and around our service area,” Ingram said. “The local United Fund is a good fit for us, because the funds are used locally.”

“Even in this tough economy, the spirit of giving is alive and well at PowerSouth,” Ingram said. “The support of our employees is unwavering because we all recognize that the United Fund’s effort to improve lives and communities is more important than ever.”
