Together we can end local poverty!

United Way creates, connects, and leads community partnerships that equip and empower people to leave poverty. Our strategy builds pathways out of poverty by:

  • Helping youth transition from cradle-to-career
  • Helping adults land jobs and increase income
  • Providing access to basic needs and healthcare

Our nationally recognized Family Success Centers and innovative Guilford Success Network bundle services and eliminate barriers. With community collaboration and your support, we will help 3,000 households leave poverty by 2030!
