On October 27, community leaders and service providers from Kings and Tulare Counties gathered virtually for the monthly Smart Referral Network (SRN) Alliance Meeting, continuing their shared mission to build stronger, more connected communities through closed-loop referrals.

On September 29, 2025, the Kings/Tulare Smart Referral Network (SRN) Alliance Meeting brought together a diverse group of community leaders, nonprofit partners, and service providers.

In this short video, Jose talks about the power of community, the joy of volunteering, and the meaningful connections built through service. From networking to making a real difference, hear how United Way brings people together to uplift Tulare County—one act of kindness at a time.

Meet Raul Natera, a longtime volunteer whose journey with United Way began thanks to a little encouragement from friends—and turned into a lifelong commitment. Raul has dedicated years of service, support, and heart to building a stronger Tulare County.

The Smart Referral Network (SRN) is a “closed-loop referral software platform” where nonprofits, government agencies, and other service providers can send, receive, and track client referrals in one secure, shared space.
