“At Pikes Peak United Way, we believe there is more that connects us than divides us,” said Courtney Hadl, manager of resource development for Pikes Peak United Way. “The Security Service Charitable Foundation’s generous donation is helping us to ‘Live United,’ showing that we are stronger together than we ever could be apart.”

Amidst the pandemic, requests for assistance from Pikes Peak United Way have increased exponentially.
