FOR THE COMMUNITY. BY THE COMMUNITY.
No one person or organization can solve our community’s problems alone. But when nonprofits, businesses, municipal partners, and caring people like you come together, we become a force for good.
Together, we invest in the areas that matter most. Every gift to United Way Fox Cities combines with others to create a powerful fund for our community’s greatest challenges.
By investing in the areas of Health, Education, and Financial Stability, we can build a brighter future in the Fox Cities.
United Way Fox Cities relies on a team of dedicated volunteers to understand our community’s needs. Through active engagement with community leaders and caring individuals, we gain valuable insights. These insights help us strategically allocate resources where they can have the most significant impact in the Fox Cities region.
Together, we create lasting change and address critical issues.
Live United.
WE ARE STRONGER WHEN WE STAND TOGETHER.
We accomplish our mission through work in our three areas of focus.
Health
GOAL: CHILDREN, YOUTH, AND ADULTS ARE HEALTHY.
United Way-funded programs provide care for physical and mental health needs through critical times. Because healthy communities need healthy people to thrive.
In December 2016, the Center for Grieving Children helped a family walk through and heal from the loss of their brother and father.
Education
GOAL: CHILDREN AND YOUTH ARE ON TRACK TO REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL.
Every child, from birth to adulthood, is valued and supported. Resources are maximized to support the development of our children and youth as contributing members of the community.
When a child doesn’t receive a strong start in life, CASA of the Fox Cities works to change the trajectory of their story.
Financial Stability
GOAL: INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES ARE FINANCIALLY STABLE.
Individuals’ and families’ basic needs are met in a timely manner through a coordinated system of resources, providing them opportunities to achieve their highest potential.
Judy, a 78-year-old Neenah resident relies upon Dial-A-Ride as her means of getting to medical appointments safely and reliably.
OUR NEIGHBORHOOD PARTNERS ARE DOING SO MUCH GOOD.
Through United Way Fox Cities, our partners are helping to positively impact 1 in 3 people in the communities around you. That’s over 100,000 friends, neighbors and coworkers impacted every year through United Way. Check out the good work happening in your neighborhood!
Financial Stability
IN 2022, UNITED WAY-SUPPORTED PROGRAMS ADVANCED OUR GOAL OF ENSURING INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES ARE FINANCIALLY STABLE.
Everyone in the Fox Cities should be able to get where they need to go, safely and reliably. Closing transportation gaps is critical for securing employment, accessing medical care, obtaining healthy food, and dealing with emergencies and crises.
Dial-A-Ride, supported by United Way Fox Cities, provides reduced-fare transportation for residents of the Cities of Neenah and Menasha aged 60 years and older.
For Judy, a 78-year-old Neenah resident, Dial-A- Ride became her means of getting to medical appointments safely and reliably. After a car accident several years ago, Judy no longer felt safe to drive.
While she relies on this program for transportation, she has also found a sense of community. Like many others who use Dial-A-Ride, Judy has experienced a safe ride and pleasant conversation, making a positive difference in her life. This sense of independence, financial stability, and LIVING UNITED benefits more than one person — it benefits the entire community.
“The drivers are wonderful!” – Judy
