From Poverty to Possibility
Promoting Financial Security and Independence
Breaking the Cycle of Poverty
Poverty is a complex issue. Once in the cycle of poverty, it is extremely difficult for individuals and families to overcome. United Way invests in numerous high quality, high impact programs to support individuals to gain access to the basic needs and other resources to help them stabilize. Supports also provide the opportunity to acquire the knowledge and tools to maximize income and increase savings for long-term stability.
