We don't just ask people to give, but to work for the common good by creating positive change for all members of our communities. Anyone can champion a cause by being an advocate for issues. Whether you're volunteering your time, speaking out to improve conditions and systems that affect our community, reaching out to members of Congress, or wearing the LIVE UNITED shirt to show your support, you can inspire hope and create opportunities for a better tomorrow. LIVE UNITED and advocate. Together, we can help raise awareness about the most critical health and human service needs in our region and what can be done to help.
United Way is called by its mission and vision to actively engage the community to change the conditions and systems that affect people by creating partnerships with businesses, individuals and government at all levels. But we can't do it alone. Change happens one person at a time. Talk about issues that are important to you with your friends, family and co-workers. You'll be amazed at what you learn and what you can change.
Let your opinion be heard. Show your support on the state and national levels by contacting your local representatives. For a list of issues and legislation, as well as elected officials, click here.
