The DEJOY\WOS Family Foundation has long supported the outstanding efforts of both the Greensboro and High Point United Way. The organization’s primary focus is reducing poverty by leading long-term solutions that meet the unique needs of the people in the community who struggle to obtain basic needs through community impact programs that promote and improve education, financial stability, and health.
Since 1999, Louis DeJoy and Aldona Woś have been Alexis de Tocqueville Society members in Greensboro and High Point; Aldona Woś has also been a member of the Tocqueville Women’s Leadership. United Way’s Alexis de Tocqueville Society members are community impact leaders who have committed to taking action toward a common good. Together, with community partners, we address Greater Greensboro’s most critical needs so that every person has the opportunity to succeed in life. Tocqueville Society members give annually to ensure local nonprofit partners restore hope and deliver solutions to those in need of human services. The result is a stronger, better Greensboro and High Point.
In 2019, The DEJOY\WOS Family Foundation supported United Way’s “Best Summer Ever” program. The summer program provided the opportunity for children from the African American Male Initiative and the Family Success Center to attend the camp and partake in fun and positive summer enrichment experiences they would not otherwise have. The camp helped keep them engaged in learning during summer break so they could have a smooth transition in the fall.
In 2020, the DEJOY\WOS Family Foundation contributed an additional $100,000 to the United Way of Greater Greensboro and Greater High Point as part of a community-wide initiative to support nonprofit organizations during the pandemic.
