We can all agree that health, education, and financial stability are the building blocks of a thriving community.

Support our Work!
Every child's experience is unique but they all need the same things - love, security, health, and wellbeing. Families in our community need support to help provide this for their children. The United Way is committed to supporting children and families in our community, improving the opportunity for a healthy life and a stable path by investing in health, education, and financial stability programs in our county. Healthy children and families are the future for a stronger community and every child deserves a loving, supportive community.
Are you looking for ways to support the community by contributing to positive lasting change? The United Way of Indiana County is seeking support to help improve the overall health of our community by helping to ensure children have a stable path to growth, providing security to families, and delivering essential resources to our neighbors. Last year alone, we had 4,786 individual donors, 174 leadership donors, 152 corporate donors, and engaged 665 volunteers. Through these partnerships, we have been able to lay the foundation for lifelong success. The programs that the United Way invests in directly impacted 14,149 lives in our county through our allocations, grants programs, and additional community resources.
In preparation for our upcoming 2023-2024 campaign, we are relying on the generosity of our community members to kick off the investment in county-wide solutions by investing in us. Your contribution would demonstrate your dedication to improving the lives in our community.
Be a part of transforming a child's world and creating positive change! Together, we are Building Bridges to Brighter Futures!
