It’s about beneficial Change! -Dana Haza
United Way goes well beyond being a charity; we are a community organization with a focus on change for the improvement of the community of the Golden Isles and its citizens. With a focus on the building blocks for a good life, United Way’s work targets:
- Education – Helping Children and Youth Achieve Their Potential
- Income – Promoting Financial Stability and Independence
- Health – Improving People’s Health
Our founding fathers built into the Declaration of Independence verbiage that no other county on the planet has committed to their countrymen: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
The day-to-day work of United Way works diligently to promote and advance stability and ultimately independence for citizens in Glynn and McIntosh County. By Living United we pull each other up – changing our individual circumstances and ultimately that of our community. Our work provides the opportunity to pursue Life, to pursue Liberty, to pursue Happiness. Challenges of illiteracy change to become a literate community. Lack of job readiness is transformed in businesses having a robust and talented workforce. When the community has an awareness and dedication to better health a positive domino effect begins to line up. This includes: a higher performing workforce, more engaged families, as well as over all improved individual quality of life.
Together we will be embarking on the 2014-2015 campaign in September. You will soon be hearing about your power to be part this positive community change.
