DONATE

Members of Lead United are driving the movement to build a thriving community. Through an annual investment of $1,000 or more, members partner with United Way to create pathways to opportunity for all. If you’re not yet a member, now’s the time to join. If you are a member, consider increasing your gift to make an even greater impact for your neighbors in need.

Community members volunteer at the United Way warehouse.
