United Way of the Cape Fear Area has been impacting our local community since 1941. Throughout the years, methods may have changed but the outcome is the same: United Way is working alongside local agencies in order to assist them in providing substantial and sustainable change within the Cape Fear Area. UWCFA is dedicated to supporting quality health and human service programs that make our community a stronger, better place for us all. We partner with local agencies, organizations, civic groups and local government to find lasting solutions to problems in our community and to provide needed programs and services.
