A stark look at economic struggles within our community

Living in the land of plenty — as we are in the United States, in Maryland and here in Frederick County — it can be too easy to overlook those who do not share in the bounty. Our community is very lucky to have an organization like the United Way of Frederick County to remind us that too many of our neighbors are sometimes struggling just to get by. A lot of folks are working hard, trying to make their way, but are just one major repair bill away from economic trouble.
