EnerSys Presents Annual Donation to United Way Berks County

“United Way’s mission is to help people in need and addresses critical issues to make our community a better place for everyone,” said Dave Shaffer. “At EnerSys, our mission is to Power the Future – Everywhere for Everyone. And that starts in our own community. I am proud of our employees for their generosity and of our long-standing partnership with the United Way and the great work they do every day.”

“Partnerships are key to United Way’s work, and the EnerSys team is one of our most supportive and generous partners. Their team shares a remarkable commitment to Berks County, and they put their compassion into action by volunteering to help others and by financially supporting our annual campaign. Their support helps fuel the work to improve lives and build a stronger community. We couldn’t do what we do without their support and passion to make a difference.” Tammy White, President of United Way of Berks County

The funds donated to the United Way of Berks County are distributed to non-profit organizations throughout the region. The United Way then invests in organizations like Olivet Boys and Girls Club and Big Brothers Big Sisters to support youth development, mentoring and after-school programs. Other program investments help our community’s most vulnerable residents through agency partners such as New Journey Community Outreach, The Salvation Army and Safe Berks.
