Local Love Impacting Local Lives

The United Way invests in programs that have a wide range of impact. These programs support thousands of local residents, helping them when they need it the most. Here are just some of the people your donations have helped.

John’s story

I struggled with housing throughout my adult life, but with the United Way I was able to connect with services that helped me find stable housing and the confidence I needed to participate in my community.

Alexis’ story

When I got to high school I struggled to fit in. I fought with my parents and I ended up leaving home, getting involved with the wrong crowd and with drugs. Without the support and guidance I received from United Way funded agencies, I would not be where I am, or who I am today.

Fred’s story

I was a firefighter with near perfect vision, but one day I found it difficult to see. I became legally blind. With help from the United Way, I was connected with the right agencies and services to help me navigate my new life and regain my independence.
