Together, we Stand United for Equity.

At United Way, we know that addressing inequity is critical to accomplishing our mission of building equitable communities of stable households and thriving children. But to do so, we must understand our history and what drives these disparities. When we take it upon ourselves to learn, grow and educate others, we are doing our part to build a brighter future for our region.

Our fourth annual 21-Day Equity Challenge began May 17 and takes place through Friday, June 14! Below you can review content from previous years, including information and activities that provide a deep dive on different equity-related issues.
