1. Tell us about yourself. 

School is back in session. This year, many have said that the summer flew by. At United Way, we couldn't agree more but that's because we were extra busy committing ourselves to providing children with ways to prevent the summer learning loss -- the loss of academic skills or knowledge over the summer months -- and preparing young children for school. 

The United Way of El Paso County (UWEPC) hosted its Annual Appreciation Luncheon on Fri., May 4 at the El Paso Convention Center to honor the individuals, companies, organizations and institutions that supported the nonprofit during the 2017-2018 campaign season. 

Every student needs a co-pilot when learning to read and our United Way is ready to help.

You’ve likely heard the adage, “Nothing in life is certain except death and taxes.” Well, thanks to United Way of El Paso County at least one of those things is easier.

United Way partners with industry leader H&R Block to help people easily and accurately file both their federal and state taxes through MyFreeTaxes^TM. MyFreeTaxes is mobile optimized so anyone can access MyFreeTaxes.com from their computer, tablet or smart phone. Most filers complete their taxes in less than hour.

If you know Rodolfo and even if you don't, you'll discover with one quick conversation that he's all about community. Through his words and actions he's showcases that he's a strong believer in community, particularly in our El Paso community and its potential. That's why we're so excited to have him on our team. For the next year, he'll be working to develop programs that will help at risk students.
