When you give to United Way, you support programs and strategic initiatives that address school readiness, high school graduation and financial stability, the critical elements needed for creating a cycle of success. Together, we have helped thousands of people overcome cycles of hopelessness and find their place on the cycle of success. There is still work to be done, but when we work together, when you support United Way, we get closer and closer to finishing what we have started. Together.
Using your donations, we are working to build a Cycle of Success where • all children start school prepared to learn and go on to graduate • well-educated graduates find good jobs and create stable homes • children from stable homes continue the cycle because they start school prepared to learn.
Change can’t happen without YOU. All of us coming together is the key to creating lasting change for families throughout our community. Our approach is unique: • We invest in programs and initiatives with proven records of success to deliver results. • We lead and support partnerships and collaborations to solve shared community challenges.
Change can’t happen without YOU. Last year, more than 132,000 people benefited from the programs and initiatives your contributions make possible, receiving assistance with life essentials or showing measured improvement in the key areas of School Readiness, High School Graduation or Financial Stability.
