Albany --- United Way of Southwest Georgia is far from meeting their 2002 goal, with only 3 weeks left before the new year. That could mean cutbacks in services by the agencies they support.

 At their annual Christmas Open House Celebration, United Way thanked volunteers and community leaders for their support.

 United Way of Southwest Georgia helps fund 86 health and human service agencies in 9 counties.
