Individuals and businesses who helped the United Way of Southwest Michigan in the past year reach its fundraising goal have been saluted by the organization.

“The United Way of Southwest Michigan fights for the health, education, and financial stability of every person in every community,” Murphy said. “Without your belief in the United Way mission, we would not be able to stand in front of you today.”
