Income
Why it matters
A family that gets on its feet and stays upright becomes a vital contributor to the community. If we leverage our United Way base, we can restore our region to economic health and create a bright future for our families. We will see financially secure parents meeting basic needs, providing healthy meals, engaging with their child's school, helping their neighbors and investing in their communities.
What we're doing
Earn It. Keep It. Grow It: We're focusing on getting individuals into jobs with upward earning potential in careers and growing industries; keeping dollars earned with families and helping them access tax incentives while lowering expenses; and accessing mainstream financial institutions, creating and building savings, taking advantage of group purchasing power and planning for the future.
