AUBURN â When Tyler Cleverly took over as executive director of the United Way of DeKalb County one year ago, he had one goal in mind â to do everything in the agencyâs ability to take care of the needs of the community during the COVID-19 pandemic.
â2020 truly showed how DeKalb County came together to live out our motto to Live United,â he said Monday. âUnited Way of DeKalb County could not serve our county if it were not for volunteers and donors like you,â he added.
Even though events had to make a shift, the United Wayâs impact remained the same, he said.
