A NOTE FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

FROM THE DESK OF Rheanne Rand Archer

I am excited to be the new Executive Director of Kaufman County, I have always loved serving my city and I am even more excited about serving the County I love.  My family has very deep roots within this county and I feel with the current board along with the people within these communities we can make a huge impact on those in need.

1) A Born Learning Trail that is located at Ben Gill on the backside of the running trail.  The trail entails 9 learning stations where children can interact on  with caregivers, grandparents and parents alike. 

2) Lending Libraries – “Take a book, leave a book”   There will be libraries all over the county before the project is completed.  Currently, the City of Terrell has bought one for every park located in Terrell, our goal is to have libraries in every public park within Kaufman County. 

3) Currently we have 10 Partner Agencies,  and with the continued support from our local Businesses, United Way of Kaufman County will be able to graciously grant more funds to these non-profits.  These 10 non-profit agencies help hundreds of individuals and families within our county. 

4) We serve alongside The Hulsey Public Library with the VITA program (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) for simple tax returns. The VITA program is a free income tax preparation program for low- to moderate-income individuals and families.

My goal as your Executive Director is to recruit 100 small businesses and friends who would donate $1 a day for a year or $365.00, to help me reach my $36,500 goal for 2024.

We have an outstanding Board of Directors who serve and give freely of their time and energy to help support the United Way of Kaufman County.  

Thank you for your love & support!
