Our Programs

Meeting Basic Needs:

Many hard-working people feel overwhelmed by the challenges of providing for their family. They want to do more than just get by; they’re looking for an opportunity to get ahead and make a better life for their family. United Way tackles issues that confront people of all abilities to find and access meaningful employment. In addition, we help families gain a financial foothold by overcoming challenges of childcare, transportation and budget planning.

Building for Success in School and Life

With the right resources and personal support, every child has the chance to succeed. United Way works to level the playing field for communities of color and supports quality out-of-school programs to help children form healthy habits and develop critical learning skills. We promote programs that recruit and provide strong mentors and role models to help students achieve academic and social growth.
