An uncommon commitment to the uncommon story.

You have a story. It’s the heart of who you are, what you do and why. In our community, there are those who use their story to do something remarkable. They use it to serve others, to accomplish great things, to make a difference. When you share your uncommon story, it becomes this community’s collective story, shared by all. It binds us, strengthens and empowers. It’s why, at First United, we’re so committed to helping your story take shape and seeing it play out.

In our continuing series, Uncommon Stories, we’re sharing the inspiring, local stories that show the amazing things happening in our local area. Check out the amazing stories and videos below!
