You Are United Way
United Way of Cass-Clay is leading the charge to
• Prevent hunger and homelessness
• Prepare children to succeed
• Strengthen families
Together, we can put opportunity in the hands of our neighbors in Cass and Clay counties and lift families out of poverty.
We know that each and every day in our community, your United Way donation is making a difference. This video gives you a front row seat to see how your investments are changing the lives of people every hour, every day, all throughout the year. You’ll meet Josh and Martin. This past summer, our team shadowed these extraordinary homeless outreach workers with a camera in tow to see the real-life, day-to-day impact they’re making in the lives of our neighbors. What we saw may surprise you and cause you to think differently about homelessness and poverty in our community. And help you realize your important role in helping our neighbors. You are United Way.
Right here in our community…
• 1 in 9 people live in poverty.
• Over 1,000 people are homeless each night.
• Over 16,000 people experience hunger every year.
It takes all of us to make our community a place where everyone can thrive. You make it possible for people like Josh and Martin to provide care, hope, opportunity, and help so that together we can prevent hunger and homelessness, prepare children to succeed, and strengthen families with an ultimate goal of lifting our neighbors out of poverty. Every day there are people right here in our community reaching out to help our neighbors in need. It not only takes people like Josh and Martin, but it also takes caring people like you. You care for others, you stand for hope, you believe in opportunity – you are United Way.
By giving to United Way, you make change possible.
