Description
Our Work Advancing the Common Good: Creating Opportunities for Better Lives for All
Everyone deserves opportunities to have a good life: a quality education
that leads to a stable job, enough income to support a family through
retirement, and good health. That's why United Way's work is focused
on the building blocks for a good life:
Education- Helping Children and Youth Achieve Their Potential
Income- Promoting Financial Stability and Independence
Health - Improving People's Health
Advancing the common good is less about helping one person at a time
and more about changing systems to help all of us. We are all
connected and interdependent. We all win when a child succeeds in
school, when families are financially stable, when people are healthy.
United Way's goal is to create long-lasting changes by addressing the
underlying causes of these problems. Living united means being a part
of the change. It takes everyone in the community working together to
create a brighter future.
