Our mission is to measurably improve people's lives in Hancock County.

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:

Education - Helping Children and Youth Achieve Their Potential
Income - Promoting Financial Stability and Independence
Health - Improving People's Health

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. Our goal is to create long-lasting changes by addressing the underlying causes of social problems.  Living united means being a part of the change. It takes a community working together to create a brighter future.
