Quote from Audrey Hepburn
 

"If you ever need a helping hand, it is at the end of your arm.  As you get older, you must remember you have a second hand.  The first one is to help yourself.  The second hand is to help others."

 
 
 

 

Creating Opportunites for a Better Life for All
 

Everyone deserves opportunities to have a good life:  a quality education that leads to a stable job, enough income to support a family through retirement, and good health.

That’s why United Way’s work is focused on the building blocks for a good life:

  • Education – Helping Children and Youth Achieve Their Potential
  • Income – Promoting Financial Stability and Independence
  • Health – Improving People’s Health

Advancing the common good is less about helping one person at a time and more about changing systems to help all of us.  We are all connected and interdependent.  We all win when a child succeeds in school, when families are financially stable, and when people are healthy.

United Way’s goal is to create long-lasting changes by addressing the underlying causes of these problems.  Living united means being a part of the change.  It takes everyone in the community working together to create a brighter future.  Give.  Advocate.  Volunteer.  LIVE UNITED.

 
 

Your United Way

Chinese Proverb
 

 

If you want happiness for an hour -- take a nap.
If you want happiness for a day -- go fishing.
If you want happiness for a month -- get married.
If you want happiness for a year -- inherit a fortune.

If you want happiness for a lifetime -- help someone else.
