United Way has established several social initiatives that bring together individuals with similar interests in helping the community. How do we change the world? With a little help from each of us...
Medius Circle (Medius is Greek for community)
United Way of Williamson County recognized the need to engage and involve a new generation of leaders in community involvement. Through the development of the Medius Circle, United Way seeks to provide an opportunity for young professionals to learn about the health and human service needs in Williamson County and provide members with hands-on experience in addressing these needs.
The Patricia Hart Society is a group of dedicated women in Williamson County who support the needs of our community and have joined together to encourage women of all ages and backgrounds to help in the work of United Way. Our vision is to create an opportunity for women to take a leadership role in positively impacting the community. Williamson County resident and active community volunteer, Patricia Hart, community philanthropist, advocate and volunteer, agreed to lend her name to this endeavor because of her strong belief in United Way and as she puts it, “because extraordinary things happen when women come together.”
