About This Cause
Who We Are For over 98 years, United Way of Southwest Alabama has been providing help and hope to those in need while creating lasting, positive change in our community. Serving Mobile, Washington, Choctaw and Clarke counties, our United Way is a caring force of individual and corporate community investors as well as volunteers dedicated to strengthening the capacity of our community by advancing the common good. What We Do United Way of Southwest Alabama works to bring together the right people, ideas and resources to improve the communities we serve. We bring together people from all across the community, business, government, nonprofits and private citizens to address a wide range of community issues. While working to address immediate needs, our volunteers and community partners also find solutions to create real, long-term change in the root causes of community problems. We look at community needs and conditions regularly – then help identify issues and priorities for community action. United Way of Southwest Alabama is working to advance the common good by focusing on education, financial stability, health, and essential services. These are the building blocks for a good life - a quality education that leads to a stable job, financial stability to support a family through the changes in life, healthy choices and opportunities to maintain good health, and essential services to provide immediate and basic needs during times of crisis or personal challenge. Advancing the common good is not only about helping one person at a time but is also about changing systems to help the community as a whole. Our community members are connected and interdependent; and therefore, everyone wins when a child succeeds in school, when families are financially stable, when people are healthy, and when essential services are available to everyone in need. How We Do It More than 700 organizations run employee giving campaigns and over 20,000 individuals contribute annually to the United Way campaign. Over two hundred volunteers help United Way focus on the issues that matter most in our community. Forty-five nonprofit organizations are United Way of Southwest Alabama Community Partners, delivering needed programs and services to our friends, neighbors, family members, and coworkers each year. Each year, more than 200,000 people are helped through United Way of Southwest Alabama and with your help, we’ll work even harder to transform our community and change lives. Our Difference Most charities focus on a single group or issue. United Way of Southwest Alabama tackles multiple issues for the entire community. One powerful idea guides our work: it takes all parts of a community working together to create real, measurable change in our most serious issues.
