When people come together to give—whether it’s time, money, or compassion—they do more than meet an immediate need. They help build a stronger, more connected community that can weather life’s challenges together.
Why Give Through United Way
In challenging times, coordination matters as much as compassion. Giving through United Way ensures your gift joins with others to create a unified, efficient local response.
Rather than multiple agencies competing for limited dollars, we work together to align resources, identify the greatest needs in real time, and fill the gaps.
This collective approach means every dollar goes further—reaching more families and strengthening the web of support that keeps our community strong.
- The Emergency Relief Fund complements our annual Impact Fund, not replaces it.
- Your gift to the Relief Fund helps families through short-term crises.
- Your Impact Fund gift fuels long-term, lasting solutions that help families achieve stability and independence.
We’ll be working hand-in-hand with local governments, foundations, and community partners—either by centralizing resources through United Way for maximum efficiency, or by collaborating closely with their independent efforts—to ensure a seamless, coordinated regional response.
