November 5, 2025 – The Hopkins County 2025-2026 United Way met for their last Campaign Pledge Report Meeting of 2025 Wednesday, November 5th, to revel exiting news! The theme and drive for this year’s campaign is, “It’s A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood,” and Hopkins County came through and showed that it IS a beautiful day in the neighborhood! This year’s campaign marks the 70th Anniversary of the Hopkins County United Way, and boy did it not only succeed, the organization excelled. The original goal set by the United Way for 2025-2026 was $170,000, the highest goal the organization has every strived to achieve. However, with a massive group effort of United Way President Lyndsay Palmer, Campaign Co-Chairs Ashley Crump and Kaitlyn Hankins, Executive Secretary Susan Berning, and so many hard working, devoted, volunteers, organizations, businesses, community members… the list goes on and on… it was announced at their Campaign Pledge Report Meeting at the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Office that they not only reached their goal, but went beyond it with a grand total, so far, of a little over $182,000.00! And the donations are still coming in! Hopkins County really came through and proved, once again, that it’s a great neighborhood to be a part of. Seventeen organizations will benefit greatly from these efforts. Stay tuned for KSST to share video from this last meeting within the next few days…
