Together We Thrive: Year-End Impact

December 30, 2024 Ryan Michelle Wilcox

One year into our merger, we continue creating opportunities for everyone in our communities to thrive.

Our donors have made a meaningful difference, helping to build a healthier, more prosperous community.

In 2024, we invested more than $240,000 in 34 community agencies. The full list is at the bottom of this page, and available here.

UWCAC directs funds to support our region’s greatest needs

The diverse array of programs funded through our grants highlights the United Way's dedication to addressing critical needs across various sectors, including youth development, emergency assistance, education, and health services.

We continue to work tirelessly to support and uplift our local communities. Part of our work is based on United for ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) reporting. While ALICE households earn more than the Federal Poverty Level (FPL), their income is insufficient to cover essential living expenses such as housing, child care, food, transportation, health care, and technology.

United is the Way

While we continue to support organizations that create opportunities and close gaps, challenges still exist. Many in our community struggle to meet basic needs, and children face the risk of falling behind. Addressing these challenges requires collective action.
