36 Agencies Comprise This Community Network

Numerous community-based agencies make up our United Way network. All these health and human service agencies are non-profit charitable organizations run by a local volunteer Board of Directors.

A community safety net - many of the United Way agencies comprise our community's safety net for services. Often our community safety net is stretched very thin. Your dollars fund a variety of community programs including day care, job counseling, community education, youth intervention and prevention programs and emergency food, shelter and clothing.

Where Do Your United Way Dollars Go?

As a donor to United Way your contribution is redistributed to 36 human service agencies that provide a wide range of community services to persons from birth to over 100. Your contribution is an investment in people in our community. The return we all receive is a stronger, healthier community.
