Welcome

Welcome to United Way of the Greenbrier Valley!

United Way is an organization that unites health and human service organizations in our community. Our mission 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 suceeds in school, when families are financially stable, and when people are healthy.

United Way plays a vital role in meeting the critical needs of our community each and every day. We are here to advance the common good and improve the quality of life for people throughout the area by focusing on the building blocks for a good life - health, income and education. This year, twenty-five agencies are receiving funding from United Way to address our community's most critical issues in health, income and education as well as supporting basic needs of food, clothing and shelter.

But none of this can happen without the generous support from the community. For those who give to United Way year after year, we truly thank you for your investment. For those who are considering a gift, we are confident that once you browse our web site and learn all that we do in the community, you too will make a gift. And remember that ninety-nine cents of your investment, small or large, stays right here in the Greenbrier Valley.

2012-2013 President

Live United

United Way is working to advance the common good by focusing on education, income and health. These are the building blocks for a good life—a quality education that leads to a stable job, enough income to support a family through retirement, and good health.

Our goal is to create long-lasting changes that prevent problems from happening in the first place.

We invite you to be part of the change. Together, united, we can inspire hope and create opportunities for a better tomorrow.
