UNITED IS THE WAY WE ANSWER THE CALL

When crisis comes, communities need more than a response. They need a safety net.

Every day across Greater Atlanta, families face unexpected challenges, from severe weather and rising costs to housing instability and personal emergencies. For families already struggling to make ends meet, a crisis can be impossible to overcome alone.

FOR MANY, IT'S NOT A MATTER OF IF, BUT WHEN

Difficult moments can touch a family at any time, but for many local families, there isn't much room for the unexpected. One challenge can quickly create a ripple effect that puts housing, food, transportation, or other essentials at risk.

45%

Nearly 45% of Georgia households do not make enough to cover the rising costs of the basics like housing, food, childcare, transportation, and healthcare. For these families, a single setback can quickly become a crisis.

440,000+

Through 211, our community’s front door to help, United Way of Greater Atlanta connects more than 440,000 people each year to essentials like housing, food, rent assistance, and utility support. That's one request for help every 72 seconds.

4 OUT OF 5

Nearly 4 in 5 Greater Atlantans surveyed said they had fewer than three nearby people they could count on for help. 40% had no one. Everyone needs someone to call in a crisis.

NO ONE SHOULD FACE A CRISIS ALONE

Statistics tell us how widespread the need is, but they don’t tell us what it feels like. Behind every number is someone looking for a job, a parent struggling to pay rent, or a neighbor searching for a way forward through a personal challenge.

And when too many people don’t have someone they can call for help, our community safety net becomes even more important.

For more than 120 years, United Way of Greater Atlanta has been at the other end of the line, helping our community respond, recover, and move forward. We connect families to support, coordinate solutions with nonprofit partners, and mobilize resources when they’re needed most.

WHAT'S BETTER THAN RESPONDING? PREPARING.

Emergencies don't wait. Neither can we.

When nearly half of Georgia households are already struggling to make ends meet, a crisis doesn’t create hardship. It deepens it. That’s why we can’t just respond when people need help. We have to be ready before the call comes.

Whether families are navigating a personal crisis, recovering from a disaster, or searching for a path forward, United Way of Greater Atlanta helps connect our community to help, hope, and opportunity.

Give today. Because we can’t answer the call without you.
