Our mission is to harness the caring power of community to improve conditions in education, financial stability, and health – the building blocks of a good life. Our United Way serves as a convener, leader, collaborator, champion and/or creator of broad, community-wide initiatives that find, implement, and evaluate solutions to pressing challenges in the areas of education, financial stability and health. In partnership with the business, philanthropic, faith, nonprofit, educational, and medical communities, and the public sector, United Way programs and initiatives are working to decrease childhood obesity, reduce suicide, start children on the path to lifelong learning, improve health equity, end homelessness, and improve outcomes for children 0-5.
