Description:
United Way is working to advance the common good by focusing on education, income and health. These are the building blocks for a good life - a quality education that leads to a stable job, enough income to support a family through retirement, and good health.

Our goal is to create long-lasting changes that prevent problems from happening in the first place.

Our vision for the Quad Cities is bold. We will lead a Birth-to-Work community agenda to prepare all Quad City area youth for success in school and in life. By focusing our resources and community on youth, we stand to make the greatest impact possible. If we can change the future for young people, we can change the future for our community.

We invite you to be a part of that change. Together, united, we can inspire hope and create opportunities for a better tomorrow.

That's what it means to live united.

United Way of the Quad Cities Area has been working to impact the community and positively change lives for more than 30 years.
