Our Work We know that for many United Way is well known, but not well understood. That’s why we want to make sure you know what we do: we bring together donors, volunteers, businesses, nonprofits, faith-based, community leaders, government, experts, and those in need. Our Mission ’s mission is to improve the quality of life in the community. We strengthen communities by focusing on uniting and mobilizing resources that make the fight for education, health, financial stability, and access to life’s basic essentials a win for every person in every community we serve. Our Impact By targeting solutions in identified high-need communities, UWSWA can change the trajectory for families, their communities, and ultimately the region as a whole. This will require us to be more proactive in advancing solutions, not simply responding to requests for funding, and must include setting forth and achieving relevant outcomes and performance indicators. United we fight. United we win. We are addressing the issues that are hard to face – and too hard to ignore. We need you to join the fight because United we fight. United we win. We have one life.
