United Way funded programs and services listed above touch the lives of more than 16,000 Union County residents. But United Way itself does NOT provide direct services to individuals. United Way does NOT have financial assistance available through its office. United Way United Way's Member Agencies and other funded partners are the experts in meeting the needs of families and individuals. The agencies themselves determine eligibility and amount of aid given to those in need, usually in terms of government guidelines or established policies that prevent people from taking advantage of the system. The United Way raises money for the programs and services that can help the most people possible.

The United Way will always help those in need to find assistance or the right place to contact. Click
