Delta Zeta and Phi Delta Theta helped United Way of Amarillo “pass the bucket” along the packed stands at Kimbrough last Saturday.

Altogether the organizations raised almost $2,500 to benefit United Way.

United Way is a major funding source for health and human service programs. United Way offers assistance and resources in a time of need, or disaster.

“Being Greek I feel it is important to lend a hand to our community as much as possible, and teaming up with United Way is a great way for us to do so,” Jasinia Flores, Panhellenic president, said.

Currently there is a WT United Way cabinet, which consists of five students. Student Body President Amy Thompson, Student Body Vice President Josh Runion, IFC President Jeremy Dewbre, Panhellenic President Jasinia Flores, and Freshman Senator Patrick Miller.

“This is the first college cabinet in the nation United Way has adopted and we are honored to be a part of their program,” Amy Thompson, student body president, said. “They do wonderful things for our community and we couldn’t wait to be a part of that.”

United Way offers volunteer positions such as school volunteer positions, tutoring, day care assistance and homeless shelters.
