Our United Way is addressing the region’s most critical needs with a goal of maximum impact. Our work is organized around three impact (program) areas: EDUCATION Success for Children & Families… programs and community partners working collectively to help children and youth develop to their fullest potential, support healthy, nurturing family relationships, and improve access to quality, affordable child care; HEALTH Health & Independence for All… programs and community partners working to assure that community residents have access to timely and effective physical and behavioral care, and that seniors and those with disabilities have the best possible quality of life; SAFETY NET Financial Stability for Hardworking People & Those in Crisis… programs and community partners working together to assist people in times of need or emergency, empower people to increase household income, build savings to weather crises, and help families gain, sustain, and protect their assets, such as a home.

To increase the organized capacity of people to be independent and self-sufficient.
