United Way
Effingham Service Center
Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
The United Way Effingham Service Center in Rincon, GA celebrated their Ribbon Cutting ceremony on Tuesday June 24th, 2008. 

United Way Effingham Service Center serves the Rincon and Effingham County residents.  Many agencies are housed within this one building that includes a common area for community activities.  Some of the agencies represented are the The Rape Crisis Center, Savannah Speech & Hearing Center, Savannah Cardio, Parent & Child, Senior Citizens, Royce Center, and others as needs arise.  The Center also houses the administrative offices for Effingham  County United Way.  The common area of the building is often used for community meetings and as a staging area for the weekly "Brown Bag" program where citizens come by and pick up food and items donated by the businesses in the area.

The existing building has been renovated and upgraded to provide expanded facilities to better serve this community since the YMCA recently moved out and their space became available.  Upgrades also include accessibility modifications.  This is a multi-purpose building that can change to adapt to services as needed.
