Creating positive impact in your community
In 2019, United Way supported 121 local community programs and 50 collaborative initiatives that helped 179,162 people build better lives.
United Way brings people together to solve social issues and improve local lives. This work would be impossible without the support of local agencies, corporations, community leaders, government—and people like you.
Your donation helps improve lives right here in your community—it ensures important services are available to kids, families, and individuals when and where they need them the most. When you invest in United Way, you are investing in community-wide programs and long-term planning initiatives that improve lives and create lasting social change in our community.
