Focus Areas

Everyone deserves opportunities to have a good life: a quality education that leads to a stable job, enough income to support a family through retirement, and good health.That’s why United Way’s work is focused on the building blocks for a good life:

• Health: Improving children, youth, parents, families, adults, and seniors physical and mental health.
• Income: Supporting and promoting financial stability and independence for adults, families, and seniors  
• Education​: Helping children, youth, parents, families, adults, and seniors achieve their potential.

Advancing the common good is less about helping one person at a time and more about changing systems to help all of us. 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 of Jasper County’s goal is to create long-lasting changes by addressing the underlying causes of these problems. Living united means being a part of the change. It takes everyone in the community working together to create a brighter future. Give. Advocate. Volunteer. LIVE UNITED.
