What is Live United?
It's a movement and a call to action. YOU can make a difference:
Give. Advocate. Volunteer.
Together, united, we can make change happen. When we reach out a hand to one, we influence the condition
of all.
Your donation helps deliver HOPE for a better tomorrow.
That’s what it means to Live United.
Give
When you give to United Way you help create hope. Your gift ripples out into the entire community.
Anyone can champion the cause. Whether you’re speaking out to improve education in your community, reaching out to members of Congress, or wearing the LIVE UNITED shirt to show your support, you can help inspire hope and create opportunities for a better tomorrow. So go ahead and advocate in a LIVE UNITED world.
Advocate
Give an hour. Give a day. Give your best. We all have special talents. Things we can do to help. And when we reach out a hand to one, we influence the condition of all. There are hundreds of volunteer options available every day. Give the gift of you! Volunteer!
