The United Ways of Hampshire and Franklin counties have worked together for decades, but on Wednesday, the organizations announced they had formally merged into one entity, now known as the United Way of the Franklin and Hampshire Region.
The merger is the culmination of an 18-month process to create a larger, more consistently staffed organization that is more flexible, more stable and has more resources, according to the agency.
“We’ve had a close relationship with Franklin County for decades,” said executive director of the merged entity, John Bidwell, previously the executive director of the United Way of Hampshire County. A 28-member board of directors will also lead the organization.
