Thanks to the generosity of the thousands of individuals and over 200 area businesses and private foundations who pledge support during our annual campaign, United Way is now investing $650,000 through grants to 27 local partner agency programs. Grants are determined by a 35-member panel of community volunteers assembled through United Way’s resource investment process. Volunteers make site visits to assess each program and experience first-hand how their services result in measurable impact for the clients they serve. The 7-week process emphasizes the importance of accountability, transparency, and community impact in health, education, and financial stability.
United Way provides leadership, fiscal services and support for the following agencies/collaborations:
-
Mental Health Education Coalition
-
Give Kids a Smile

Our goal is really quite simple — to protect and uphold the rights of children when wrongs have been committed against them, to help abused or neglected children have safe permanent homes where they can thrive, to act as a powerful voice in these children's best interests and to educate the public about the plight of abused children.
