WHY
How Our Work Improves the Common Good for All New Yorkers
- Education is essential to getting and keeping a job with a livable wage and health benefits.
- An income adequate to pay for today’s necessities and save for the future provides families some sense of financial stability.
- Access to quality health care keeps children on track in school and adults productive at work.
Remove any one of these building blocks and the other two topple.
Working with many partners, United Way leads and supports initiatives that seek to create community-wide changes resulting in greater educational, economic and health-related opportunities for all New Yorkers.
By registering to walk in the LIVE UNITED Brooklyn Bridge Walk and participating the Volunteer Festival, you help to raise awareness about the issues we’re tackling and our work.
You can also make a donation today – all donations received in support of the walk supports our three Impact Areas.
