Creating lasting change by focusing on the building blocks of a good life: education, earnings, and essentials. We all win when a child succeeds in school, when families are financially stable and when neighbors meet their own basic needs. Together, we can all LIVE UNITED! Our Mission: To unite people and organizations with passion, expertise and resources to create more opportunities for a better life. Our Vision: An educated, prosperous and safe Acadiana where all individuals and families achieve their potential. United Way of Acadiana serves the parishes of St. Martin, Lafayette, Acadia & Vermilion.
