After consolidating its South Hampton Roads offices in Norfolk three years ago, the United Way once again will have a staff member present in Suffolk with the arrival of Margaret Foltz.

Foltz will serve as the community relations director for Western Tidewater. She has 14 years of philanthropic and development experience with Untied Way and is occupying office space donated by Harry Lee Cross of Cross Realty.

“Throughout my career with United Way I have always enjoyed my visits to Western Tidewater,” Foltz said. “I’m excited to be in Suffolk and Isle of Wight to learn about the needs of the communities, work with leaders and forge relationships that will ensure a healthy community.”

United Way of South Hampton Roads has had long-standing relationships with organizations and individuals throughout Western Tidewater. Prominent organizations such as Suffolk and Isle of Wight municipalities, TowneBank, Bon Secours, Dominion Virginia Power, Birdsong Peanuts, BASF Corporations and many others support UWSHR and its 70 certified partner agencies through employee and corporate campaigns.
