Through their recent workplace campaign, employees at NAPA Auto Parts and Distribution Center raised $5,820 for United Way of Portage County (a 44 percent increase from last year) and collected nearly 400 pounds of food for the Salvation Army and Family Crisis Center.

"We deeply appreciate NAPA and its employees for these generous gifts. Their caring compassion is an inspiration and a reminder that when we work together, we can create a brighter future for Portage County," said Sue Wilcox, executive director of United Way of Portage County.
