History

United Way of Alexander County first started out in 1979 as Alexander County United Fund. The campaign was operated by volunteers only. Volunteers did all clerical duties, soliciting and collecting of funds, and the disbursement of funds. Denise Elder (Ingram) volunteered from 1990 to 2000 and was employed with the Chamber of Commerce as well. It seemed that the two jobs went hand in hand.
