Join a network of individuals and organizations dedicated to creating a better life and a stronger community by volunteering.
WE'RE MAKING AN IMPACT
United Way brings communities together to find strength and share hope. It’s the way we rally in hard times to meet people’s needs so they can rise back up and build a better future.
Healthy Community
Improving Health and Wellbeing for All
Everyone should be able to make healthy choices for themselves and their families. But there can be lots of barriers in underserved communities. United Way’s partnerships with local groups expand access to nutritious food and quality health care, education and services.
Youth Opportunity
Helping young people realize their full potential
At United Way, we want all kids to soar. So we work with the people who care for them — from families and neighbors, to schools and community agencies — to connect young people with the support they need.
Financial Security
Building financial stability and strength
Everyone deserves the opportunity to earn a living that can sustain a family and build security for future generations. That’s why we’re partnering to help more adults thrive in a career, live in quality housing and build generational wealth.
Basic Needs
United Way believes every community deserves to prosper.
We work with our neighbors to ensure individuals and families have access to the basic needs that make a stable, healthy life possible, including food, shelter, and essential resources.
Support a network of services addressing food insecurity, housing instability, health, youth development, family support, legal needs, and other challenges facing our neighbors.
