United Way Worldwide
United Way is a national network of nearly 1,300 local organizations...
...that work to advance the common good by focusing on education, income and health. These are the building blocks for a good life: a quality education that leads to a stable job, enough income to support a family through retirement, and good health.
United Way of America is the national organization dedicated to leading the United Way movement. Local United Ways create long-lasting community change by addressing the underlying causes of the most significant local issues. Common focus areas include helping children and youth achieve their potential, promoting financial stability and independence, and improving people’s health. Our goal is to create long-lasting changes by addressing the underlying causes of problems.
It takes everyone in the community working together to create a brighter future. So we bring together people from all across the community–government, business, faith groups, nonprofits, the labor movement, ordinary citizens–to tackle the issues. Because we all win when a child succeeds in school, when a family becomes financially stable, when people have good health.

Gabe's Story
Gabe was diagnosed with Global Developmental Delay. With two working parents, childcare for Gabe was necessary. With limited resources in the area available to a child in Gabe’s circumstance and age, his parents considered moving out of state. Then Gabe’s mother, Janet, received a phone call from the Children’s Center. They had a class opening for his age range. Janet was able to breathe a sigh of relief. Not only did the CC provide childcare, but also an environment where Gabe was accepted and his needs were catered to.
