UNITED IS THE WAY WE BUILD A STRONGER COMMUNITY
United Way of Central Kentucky brings people, resources, and organizations together to create lasting change across our region.
Empowering families & Communities to Thrive through
Education
Success in life begins with a quality education. And yet, millions of children and youth lack the support they need to strengthen their literacy, stay on track in school, graduate high school and find a career. With your support, we’re fighting to shift the odds so tomorrow’s leaders can build a better foundation today.
Financial stability
UWCK addresses the obstacles that prevent hard working families from getting ahead financially, providing the education and support needed to empower those in need to stop needing help.
HEALTH AND BASIC NEEDS
When individuals are unable to meet their immediate needs, it is more difficult to focus on long-term goals. United Way recognizes that basic needs services are essential to the most vulnerable in our community and critical to getting people back on the road to self-sufficiency.
