YOUR DONATION
HAS A DIRECT IMPACT…

United Way partners with organizations that share our view that the best way to improve lives is by mobilizing the caring power of our community.  Additionally, our partners know that  we are judged on results – the tangible and quantifiable impact we make day after day, week after week, year after year. 

A long term commitment is essential to addressing key social issues such as the need to strengthen and support children and their families; meeting basic needs and helping families become financially stable; and by addressing key health and wellness issues effecting our community.
