Today, we honor President Jimmy Carter’s extraordinary life and legacy—a true champion of compassion, service, and humanity. Beyond his presidency, he dedicated his life to lifting others up, whether by building homes and hope or leading global efforts to eradicate diseases like Guinea Worm and River Blindness through The Carter Center. President Carter’s moral character and unwavering belief in the dignity of every person inspired generations to act with kindness and purpose. His lifelong commitment to service and justice changed countless lives and left the world a better place – principles that guide us at United Way of Delaware. Thank you, President Carter, for showing us what leading with heart and humility means. Your light will forever guide us. 🕊️💙 #JimmyCarter #Leadership #UnitedIsTheWay
