Our Programs

Creating positive change

Solutions begin when we understand root causes to social issues. United Way assesses the condition of our community and works to build partnerships to improve these conditions. Then, we invest in community resources to achieve long-lasting, positive change.

Our investment in the community follows three tiers:

Integrated solutions: Transformative, place-based, and multi-generation collaborations

Population-Level Solutions: Strategies for single issues or populations of affected individuals

Individual Solutions: Safety net of services that meet people’s needs now
