Empowering Our Community

Our Programs

United Way is a community.

of donors, partners, advocates, and volunteers who share the belief that when we work together, we can improve the health, education, and financial stability of every person in our community. That is what it means to LIVE UNITED.

We focus on three main initiatives that we believe have a meaningful impact on the lives of residents right here in our community.

By forging critical partnerships. By finding new solutions to old problems, By mobilizing the best resources. And by inspiring individuals like you to join us. That’s how we are able to change the odds for thousands.

Education

United Way works to end America’s education crisis

Education is the cornerstone of individual and community success. But with more than 1.2 million children dropping out each year, America faces an education crisis. The cost? More than $312 billion in lost wages, taxes and productivity over their lifetimes.1 These trends are reversible, but only when communities and public, private and nonprofit sectors work together.

 

Health

United Way Works for a Healthier America

Whether it is a child without a safe place to exercise, a neighbor without health insurance, a victim of abuse, or someone struggling with mental illness or an addiction, the Souris Valley United was is working to ensure everyone has access to a healthy lifestyle and affordable and quality care.

Financial Stability

United Way Helps Americans Achieve Financial Stability

As many as one-third of working Americans do not earn enough money to meet their basic needs. Wages have not kept pace with the rising cost of housing, healthcare, and education and currently, 40 million Americans are working in low-paying jobs without basic health and retirement benefits.  For families walking a financial tightrope, unable to save for college, a home, or retirement, United Way is here to help.
