MY UNITED WAY helps move people out of poverty. I never thought I would need help. But last year, my children and I escaped domestic violence. Dozens of families, people I didn’t know, from Wayne County and OneEighty’s Shelter and Housing programs, helped us start over.

“This community cares about people. We show kindness. When we care for people, we fill that missing part in their lives.” -Stephanie Campbell, United Way Board Member

MY UNITED WAY gave me my life back. “It’s a blessing to be part of such a caring community.” -Anonymous for Safety

1 in 5 children are living in poverty in our area.

MY UNITED WAY helped me bring up my grades.

“I used to miss every single assignment... Now, I am okay with stepping out of my comfort zone. I have overcome some real rough spots. And I’m finishing my homework!” -Dakota Morris, Age 13

Fear of making mistakes made me stop trying. My path led me to the Wooster Boys and Girls Club at Edgewood Middle School, where I learned how to overcome setbacks and build confidence.

Your investment makes our community a caring place.
