Our New
Way Forward
A movement with a mission
Any one person has the potential to make a difference. But at United Way, we believe real, transformative change only happens when we work together. Because together, we have the opportunity to build a movement-one that brings the right people, resources and solutions together to solve our region’s most entrenched inequities, create economic prosperity across races and ethnicities and uplift those who have been historically marginalized.
