TOGETHER, WE HELP OUR COMMUNITY THRIVE
United Way of West Georgia believes in the power of community. Our mission is simple yet ambitious: empower everyone in our region to achieve economic well-being so the entire community can thrive – now and in the future. We focus on providing both immediate relief and long-term solutions to the most pressing issues our community faces.
United Way of West Georgia is so much more than a fundraiser. We are passionate advocates, dedicated to driving lasting impact through targeted community investments, policy and direct services. By embedding ourselves in the community, listening and gathering data, we ensure the challenges families face today aren’t holding back the generations of tomorrow.
OUR COMMUNITY IMPACT WORK FOCUSES ON 4 PILLARS OF ECONOMIC WELL-BEING: HEALTHY COMMUNITY, YOUTH OPPORTUNITY, FINANCIAL SECURITY, AND COMMUNITY RESILIENCY
HEALTHY COMMUNITY
Improving health and well-being for all.
Everyone deserves the opportunity to live their healthiest life. At United Way, we help people overcome barriers to good health by improving access to nutritious food and quality health education and services, including preventative care, mental health support, and more.
YOUTH OPPORTUNITY
Helping young people realize their full potential.
At United Way, we want all kids to soar. So we work with the people who care for them — from families and neighbors, to schools and community agencies — to connect young people with the support they need.
FINANCIAL SECURITY
Building financial stability and strength
Everyone deserves the opportunity to earn a living that can sustain a family and build security for future generations. That’s why we’re partnering to help more adults thrive in a career, live in quality housing and build generational wealth.
COMMUNITY RESILIENCY
Addressing urgent needs today and advancing a better tomorrow
United Way believes every community deserves to prosper. We work with our neighbors to build resilient communities that are more connected, supportive and ready to respond to any challenge.
