Equal Access for all...That's the United Way

United Way of Randolph County’s work is focused on providing the fundamental building blocks necessary for security and stability.

  • Education – Helping Children and Youth Achieve Their Potential

  • Income – Promoting Financial Stability and Independence

  • Health – Improving Access to Nutritional Food, and Physical and Mental Healthcare

Advancing the common good is less about helping one person at a time and more about changing the broken systems that widen the societal gaps. We are all connected and interdependent. We all win when a child succeeds in school, when families are financially stable, when people are healthy.

United Way’s goal is to create long-term change by addressing the root cause of the problem. LIVING UNITED means being part of the solution.
