Mission Statement
United Way of Rock River Valley unites the collective power of our community to improve lives.
About This Cause
United Way of Rock River Valley (UWRRV) is on a mission to mobilize our community into action to make a lasting impact on the literacy crisis in Winnebago County. UWRRV is leading the way to address the issue head-on so that everyone has the opportunity to thrive. We believe that we can and must do better for our children and our community. United for Literacy is our comprehensive plan to bring about positive change. Through this initiative, we are implementing measurable interventions including engaging both children and parents, mobilizing volunteers, providing support to caregivers, and raising awareness throughout the community. By working together, we can systematically break down barriers to literacy and uplift our entire community. This is a collective effort involving more than 30 community organizations, including 18 UWRRV-funded partners. Together, we are dedicated to improving our county's literacy rate and ensuring that children have access to books and resources, even if they may not have them at home. Our goal is ambitious but achievable—to have 75% of third grade students in Winnebago County reading at or above grade level by 2034. We firmly believe that every child deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential, and with the support of our employer partners and community members, we can make this a reality. Real change doesn't happen in isolation. We are calling upon everyone in Winnebago County to join us in ensuring that every child is ready to read by the time they enter Kindergarten. Let's come together and make a profound difference in the lives of our children through the power of literacy, setting them up for a future filled with success.
