WHAT WE DO
United Way fights for the health, education and financial stability of every person in our community.
We win by living United. By forging unlikely partnerships. By finding new solutions to old problems. By mobilizing the best resources.
And by inspiring individuals to join the fight against our community's most daunting social crises.
In order to live better, we must LIVE UNITED.
When we work together, we build a healthier comunity with access to healthy foods, active lifestyle options and quality physical, mental and dental health care.
When we work together, we help every child unlock their potential and empower the workforce of tomorrow.
When we work together, we build a strong community where people are able to earn a livable wage and manage their income and savings.
United Way 2-1-1 is a free, confidential and anonymous, non-emergency information and referral service that connects residents to the health and human services they need. The service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week as well as during disasters.
