OCALA, Fla. (February 9, 2021) – United Way of Marion County announced today that they have received a $30,000 corporate gift from Custom Window Systems, a Pella Company. This gift will assist Marion County residents with their health, education, financial stability, and basic needs. 

 

Scot Quintel, CEO of United Way of Marion County shared that “this partnership with Custom Window Systems began with us assisting a few of their employees with emergency shelter and housing needs in 2020.
