Crisis Response
We were built for this.
Founded in 1938 after the Great Depression, United Way was created to respond to crises. When the pandemic began last year, United Way mobilized the community to help those most severely impacted before federal relief funds were eventually made available. Whether it’s an economic collapse, a hurricane, a fire, or COVID-19, United Way is here, and we can’t do it without you.
