GREENVILLE, S.C. - In honor of Veterans Day, the United Community Bank Foundation is donating $30,000 to organizations across the Southeast that support veterans and their families.

Donations to organizations across the Southeast include:
United is dedicated to positively impacting the communities it serves, with its employees taking the lead. The Together For Good Council, made up of volunteer staff, actively promotes the bank's social impact initiatives to benefit the areas where they live and work.
