United Way of West Ellis County.
The United Way serves as the center spoke of the wheel being able to coordinate volunteer efforts and man power, delegate funds to non-profits working in Ellis County
communities, promote education for financial stability, among others. Looking at the Lions Club's mission of "We Serve", that sometimes means writing a check to those that need it. The Waxahachie Lions Club could think of no better organization to donate to than the United Way and Casey Ballard's Team as we're confident that those funds will be allocated to those with the most need.
