Mission

To mobilize the caring power of our community to help one another by making lasting improvements on human care issues.

Vision

United Way helps people from every part of our community work together on important human care issues. It is committed to making lasting improvements on those issues. It works to strengthen the everyday support systems of community life – how individuals, families and neighborhoods work to support one another – and is prepared to assist people when those systems alone are not sufficient.
