United Way meets need today while preventing problems from happening in the first place. That means helping kids be ready for school, supporting them along the way, preparing them for the workforce, and giving them financial smarts.

The result? A population that is healthier, happier, and poised for financial security and long-term success.

Poverty is complicated, but by bridging gaps and amplifying the work of our partners, United Way is changing the way we all pull together to break its grip.

United Way of Benton & Lincoln Counties is independent, locally governed, and reflects the needs and diversity of the distinct communities we serve. Your dollars are invested locally to meet challenges identified by the community itself.

By acting together, we make positive changes we cannot achieve alone. United Way fights for the health, education and financial stability of every person in every community. Let's build a community where people don't have to choose between rent or groceries, heat or healthcare.

Because that kind of community is unacceptable and must change. We're changing it. Will you join us?
