United Way of Pinal County briefs supervisors on programs as it marks 45 years
Summary
Allen Villalobos, CEO of United Way of Pinal County, told the Board the organization’s local programs assist residents in need and cited that 11% of the county’s population live below the poverty line; he encouraged local donations and highlighted workforce and fundraising initiatives.
Allen Villalobos, chief executive officer of United Way of Pinal County, briefed the Pinal County Board of Supervisors during the March 11, 2026 work session on the organization’s 45th year of service and the programs it runs for county residents.
Villalobos outlined services available to residents and said United Way’s local work is affected by patterns of international versus local giving. The presentation included a cited figure that 11% of Pinal County residents live below the poverty line; Villalobos framed that statistic as a rationale for focusing donations locally and expanding workforce‑education programming. Kelly Zagrzebski, United Way board treasurer, joined the presentation.
Board members discussed how social security income and other benefits intersect with poverty measures and asked about program outreach. Vice‑Chairman Jeff Serdy and Supervisors Mike Goodman and Stephen Q. Miller noted workforce opportunities tied to educational programs and raised support for local fundraising efforts, including a bicycle fundraiser referenced by United Way representatives.
The presentation was informational; the board took no formal action during the work session. The United Way presentation was funded and organized by the organization and served to update the board on service offerings and local fundraising priorities.
