Company Description

The mission of the United Way of Lee County is to increase the organized capacity of people to care for one another. One of the ways that we do this in our community is by generating and applying necessary resources to meet basic human needs. The United Way functions as a fundraising organization for the non-profits we support. In doing so, we take the burden of fundraising off of those agencies so they can focus their time, energy and resources on helping more people in the community. We look to improve and strengthen the community by focusing on and funding organizations and programs working in our four key impact areas, areas we believe are the building blocks for a good life: education, health, crisis, and families and communities. We have 20 local agencies that we support: 2-1-1 Community ConnectionsBoys and Girls Club of East ALChild Advocacy Center of Twin CedarsKeeping Family ConnectionsLee County CASA Lee County Literacy CoalitionProject Uplift Sheriff's Girls RanchSpecial DeliveriesUWLC Student Health FundAchievement CenterAlabama Head Injury FoundationAmerican Red Cross Central East AL ChapterCommunity MarketDomestic Violence Intervention CenterEast AL Services for the ElderlyFood Bank of East ALJoyland CDCUnity Wellness Center UWLC Community Fund
