Community Impact:
2015 Outcomes Report
|
At United Way, we advance the common good by focusing on education,
income, and
health, the building blocks for a good quality of life. In Cass County, this means providing the opportunity for every child to enter kindergarten ready to learn, supporting public transportation that ensures all citizens can get where they need to go, and making certain that everyone has access to nutrition and physical fitness programs. By addressing these and other root causes of larger problems, we will make
long term, positive change in our community.
