United Way of Will County is a non-profit organization that unites communities and resources to empower people and create positive, sustainable change. Working alongside volunteers, local businesses and community organizations, the United Way of Will County identifies, reviews and financially supports local programs that help Will County residents. The partnerships created with local non-profits help us to face community issues head on, and make real, lasting change in Will County. Currently, we have identified four areas that address the wide array of needs in Will County. These areas and their corresponding goals include: 1. Self Sufficiency: We will help provide individuals and families with the skills and knowledge to become economically self-sufficient and independent. 2. Youth Success: We believe all children should have the opportunity to succeed in school and beyond and thus we support educational programs, youth character development programs and mentoring. 3. Healthy Lifestyles: We believe all individuals and families should have access to quality healthcare services to lead a healthy, both physically and mentally, fulfilled life. 4. Safer Community: We feel all that all members of our community should be able to access resources in times of personal need, during times of local disaster, and live free from abuse. Our community is our home. Together, we make great things happen in Will County!
