Local issues can be easy to ignore – at United Way we’re making them unignorable. Because we can’t solve issues affecting our community until we have the community’s attention.
Poverty. Homelessness. Mental Illness. Social Isolation. These are just a few of the issues directly impacting our community and holding too many people back.
United Way fights for the health, education, and financial stability of every person in our community. We’re committed to channeling Local Love in all we do…igniting the desire in everyone to improve this community we call home. United, we can mobilize people to address these difficult local issues, collaborate with a network of partners to solve problems and support community programs that are proven to work.
September 12 Day of Action - See the true power of Local Love in Action by getting involved to help make a difference during our Show Your Local Love – Day of Action on Thursday, September 12th.
