**Union County Commissioners Celebrate Kwanzaa Principle of Ujima**

The Union County Board of County Commissioners is honoring the third principle of Kwanzaa, Ujima, which stands for "collective work and responsibility."

Through this celebration, they aim to highlight the importance of addressing community issues collectively and working as a united team. Ujima emphasizes the spirit of coming together to solve challenges and improve the well-being of the community.

The Board is encouraging the community to follow Union County's social media channels, where they will continue showcasing all seven principles of Kwanzaa. This effort is part of their ongoing recognition and celebration of the principles and values that Kwanzaa represents.

The event serves as a reminder of the importance of shared responsibility in building and maintaining a strong, supportive community.
