United Way to 'Light up the Night'

Putnamville Correctional Facility Superintendent Brian Smith presents a check for $500 to United Way of Putnam County Executive Director Jennifer Edwards. The donation will be a part of a "fundraising campaign which then is allocated directly into Putnam County through community partners who serve the community via their programs and services," Edwards said. PCF Supt. Smith said the facility strives "to assist our local communities in any way possible." (Courtesy photo)
