United Way is working to advance the common good by focusing on education, income, and health.

Your trust and confidence in us are very important. You can expect us to be accountable and transparent about our finances, and more importantly, we pledge to be accountable for delivering on our mission to mobilize the community to improve lives.

Periodically, United Way facilitates a process that provides a snapshot of our area's health. Health is defined broadly as a state of complete well being -- physical, social and mental -- and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. The extensive use of data from original and secondary sources makes this assessment the only compendium of health and human care issues for our region.

United Way's volunteers use the resultsof the Community Assessment as the basis for funding decisions, with programs that specifically address issues highlighted in the Community Assessment being favored. Non-profit agencies use the assessment in developing grant proposals and strategic plans, and community service clubs use it to help set priorities for annual projects.

Donations aren't just money.
» Donate Your time and energy.
» Donate "in-kind Gifts"— food, computers, T-shirts for an event, printing and free advertising are all examples of gifts "in kind."
