By applying a strategic approach to the problems in our community, our influence is far reaching and deep. The United Way has an Impact Agenda that helps us to focus the efforts of our community on our most critical problems. Our agenda is three-fold:

Help youth make positive choices:

For many children the years that span from early childhood to high school can include life-altering problems that can put them on the wrong path for the rest of their lives. We are helping children and youth to have healthy beginnings, and to grow into successful adults. United Way programs support:

• Child Assault Prevention Programs in the schools
• Career Awareness Programs in the schools
• Substance Abuse Prevention Programs in the schools
• and more…

Strengthen families:

Strong families are the cornerstone to good health. United Way programs are:

• Providing a wide variety of support to the disabled and elderly
• Delivering counseling for families
• Providing legal assistance to needy families
• and more…
  

Provide a Safety Net of Services:

United Way is there to help people when they have problems that they cannot solve alone. United Way programs are:

• Providing food to those in need
• Sheltering victims of domestic abuse
• Providing emergency services to those in crisis
• and more…
