Everyone deserves the opportunity to have a good life, which we define as having a quality education that leads to a stable job, enough income to support a family through retirement, and good health. Advancing the common good is less about helping one person at a time and more about changing systems to help all of us. United Ways identify and build on community strengths and assets, help individuals and groups with specific community interests find ways to contribute their time and talents, support direct-service programs and community-change efforts, and advocate public-policy changes.
Education is the cornerstone of individual and community success. But with more than 1.2 million children dropping out each year, America faces an education crisis.
Change starts here! You are part of this great community. It is easy to get involved with United Way to create opportunities for a better life for everyone in our community. We encourage you to provide your personal email address so that we can keep you informed of the needs in our community and the inspiring work of the programs supported by United Way!
