We identify the most pressing issues in Addison County and we bring together the people we think can solve them. United Way funds agencies that, working together, can address the nuances of complex problems like poverty, homelessness, lack of affordable high-quality childcare, domestic violence, isolation, substance use disorder, and a disengaged workforce. We find solutions to fill unmet needs. We deploy volunteers as the feet on the street, delivering hope to people in need. We raise funding through generous donors who understand that social change can’t happen without it.
While we continue to raise funds for restricted COVID-19 uses, the need to shore up our operations is greater than ever so when something of this scale happens again, we can, once again, respond from a position of strength. We can’t do this without you. Please make your gift today.
The Prevention Team at UWAC is excited to be sharing their new campaign which is all about promoting positivity and proving that what YOU do matters! We believe in the power of positivity, in fact, studies show that when students focus on the healthy, positive behaviors that they already know and love to do, they are significantly less likely to engage in risky behaviors (such as substance use). One of our favorite activities to do in (or outside) our office is DANCE! We found a few folks across Addison County who feel the same about shaking, twisting, moving, and grooving!
If you or someone you know is experiencing a hardship due to COVID-19, please contact 211 (free from your phone).
