Lately, life feels hard.  World events feel overwhelming.  Inequalities are growing.  Rising costs and inflation are stressful.   Our mental health is struggling and sometimes we can feel more alone than ever.  Some days, we may wonder how we got here and where we go next – will things get better?  Yes.  Better is possible.

We can build a community that is rich in compassion and empathy, understanding and hope.  We can help each other live better lives – because what’s better for you, is better for everyone.

Better is possible and there’s no better time than now.

At United Way we believe better is possible.  Our purpose is creating lasting positive change. We are uniquely able to focus and unite people and resources to improve lives and build community, by creating support, connection, and opportunity.  We believe our community and the people in it matter and know that we can help each other live better lives.

Our innovative Community Impact Strategy focuses on solutions and supports to address current, deepened community challenges and build trust and collaboration with community partners. We’re focused on addressing the root causes of poverty and shifting our solutions to create systemic change, ensure families and individuals have the financial, social and personal assets they need to improve their quality of life.  We’re building strong, supportive, and inclusive communities that are vital for all of us to thrive.  And we’re ensuring children and youth have an opportunity to recognize their limitless potential, by giving them more tools to build emotional wellbeing and resiliency.

We’re working with community partners in new ways, with the goal of solving local problems with local solutions and empowering those closest to the issues.  We are committed to confronting the inequities that marginalized groups experience and are committed to using our voice to support communities where everyone feels like they belong and are valued for their unique differences.

We are ready to be better.  We are ready to ensure lasting, positive change and so are our community partners.  But we need our community’s support.
