We take a comprehensive approach, listening and responding to local needs in our 10-parish service region.

Everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive. That’s why Capital Area United Way mobilizes the caring power of neighbors, businesses, and community partners to lead transformational change in our local communities. From strengthening local resilience, to advancing health, youth opportunity, and financial security, we’re working towards a future where everyone can reach their full potential.
