For 100 years, the United Way of Greater Stark County has focused on building a better, equitable community where every person has the potential for a healthier life, better education, and more financial stability.
During this time, the needs of our community have become increasingly complex. Fortunately, our understanding of how to effectively address community needs has also evolved.
Disturbing data shows there is an urgent need to address childhood poverty, which threatens our youngest residents, our community, and our future. The price of poverty is large and affects all of us as a community. Over the years, United Way has remained steadfast in the spirit of innovation and transformed into a social impact organization that takes on the big, complex, and daunting challenges our community faces daily. As we look toward our future, we’ll continue to do just that.
