Because of you… United Way can help hardworking families and individuals from becoming homeless through rental assistance and from remaining in low-wage jobs by providing programs that improve English and other skills needed to secure better jobs.
More than fundraisers, United Way identified the root causes of local issues, then developed strategies, and focused financial and human resources to address them. One way United Way supports the community is through 2-1-1, a free, 24/7, confidential, telephone service that provides information to hundreds of community programs and services.
