The Impact of Your Investment
United Way Champions make a generous gift of $10,000 annually in our community. These dollars are then intentionally invested into our community with a focus on racial equity because we know that we have years of institutional racism that we’re working against to ensure people have homes, students graduate and families are financially stable.

Fighting Homelessness
Your support allows us to focus on eviction prevention, jobs and homes—proven approaches that bring results.
Results:
Last year with your investment, 2,272 people moved off the streets through Streets to Home. Through partnering with property management companies and hundreds of landlords, 8,100 people impacted by COVID-19 were able to receive rental assistance and stay in their homes.
Helping Students Graduate
We start by helping low-income children prepare for kindergarten. For young people 16-21 who have not graduated, we help them get back on track.
Results:
ParentChild+ works with 1,300 low-income families each year to make sure their toddlers succeed out-of-the-blocks in kindergarten. Last year, 6,082 vulnerable students were connected to services on their campuses that increased persistence and completion rates through our Bridge to Finish program.


Breaking the Cycle of Poverty
Ensuring people have the tools to break the cycle of poverty and kids have access to nutritious food every day.
Results:
Our Free Tax Preparation sites are completely virtual and volunteers continue to assist with filings given the extension deadline and the increased need for people to keep more of what they earn. This summer, 30,000 kids received free summer meals at schools, parks, community centers and more.
