Mission Statement
United Way of Lake County's mission is to unite leadership and resources to create lasting change that will improve and save lives in Lake County, Illinois.
About This Cause
United Way Brings people together to build a stronger community where everyone can get a quality education, a good job and live a healthy life. But we don’t do it alone: United Way of Lake County unites people, organizations and communities in purpose. Together, we mobilize resources swiftly and purposefully to address needs and make life better for every person in our community. Here are just a few examples: • Launched the fourth annual Stuff the Bus community school supply drive to ensure all kids have the school supplies they need—preparing them for their academic studies, building their self-esteem and setting them up for success. • Mobilized more than 90 volunteers to build a new playground at Oakdale Elementary School in Waukegan to help students develop their physical, emotional, social and imaginative skills necessary to gain self-confidence, improve coordination and advance critical thinking capabilities. • Partnered with HACES (Hispanic American Community Education Services) and Lake County Workforce Development to strengthen and expand Parent Mentor program in the Waukegan School District. The program supports more than 750 K-5 students while providing training and professional development opportunities for parents. Piloted paid internships for parents to work in the school district. • Led the way to bring 211 services to all Illinois communities and serve as a model program so that all Illinoisans have easy access to quality information, resources and assistance. Expanded 211 coverage from 36% two years ago to more than 90%, with 7 million more Illinoisans having access to 211. Through United Way, your neighbors are making meaningful change, whether by charitable giving, volunteering or speaking out for policies that improve our community. United Way helps our community be United in Purpose. Watch our latest video here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_42Uau3c-JI
