By making an investment in Orange County United Way, you are LIVING UNITED to build self-sufficiency and create long-lasting changes in our communities. Whether you give through a monetary donation or by volunteering your time and talents, your gifts will provide basic needs to families and individuals for food, shelter and medical care. Your contributions will also educate children and youth to ensure that they are ready academically, socially and emotionally as well as provide financial programs for individuals to increase their knowledge of financial management and help them pursue education.

When you reach a hand out to one, you can influence the condition of all. Here at United Way, we know it takes a community, not just one organization to help individuals and families move from dependency to self-sufficiency. With your help, the efforts of our partnering organizations and the teamwork of the community, we will be able to address the root causes preventing people from living self-sufficient lives.

United Way doesn’t want to just get people off the streets. We want to keep them off the streets, help to build their assets and skills for employment and guide them on the road to financial freedom. We don’t just want to find them a place to sleep; we want to give them something to dream. We want them to LIVE UNITED.
