Local United Way to mark anniversary

The Corona-Norco United Way is scheduled to hold its 60th anniversary celebration Thursday at the Corona Civic Center.

Since its founding in September 1958, the agency has provided more than $5 million to over 20 local nonprofits, according to a statement.

Those donations have provided thousands of individuals and families with food, shelter, rental, utilities and other basic needs.

Also, the Corona-Norco United Way is the only provider of services to families in western Riverside County that have been impacted by domestic violence.

Thursday’s event, which will begin at 5 p.m., is open to the public.
