Education is the cornerstone of individual and community success, but with more than 1.2 million children dropping out each year, America faces an education crisis. United Ways are committed to taking control of this crisis.

You never know if a neighbor is without health insurance, a victim of abuse, or someone struggling with mental illness or an addiction. No matter the situation, United Ways are working to ensure everyone has access to affordable and quality care.

As many as one-third of working Americans do not earn enough money to meet their basic needs. For families walking a financial tightrope, they may be unable to save for college, a home, or retirement, but United Way is here to help.

It can be difficult to know that a safety net is hard to acquire, although it remains essential. It takes everyone in the community working together to create a brighter future, and United Way supports all who help to keep people thriving in their life.
