Thank you, Marcia, for 44 years of caring!
Loyal Contributor Marcia Hembree of Bank of Albuquerque began her philanthropic partnership with United Way in 1967.
"My start at early giving was influenced by my parents. They believed in sharing with family, community and church. So when I was in school and working at my first part-time job, it was natural that I would participate in the annual United Way campaign. It is a habit that I've continued throughout the years. I believe in the Community Fund because it leverages individual contributions and disburses them into the community to address needs that we might not be aware of."
Thank You
