A Resilient and Caring City of the Future

United Way’s evolution builds on strengths, deep rooted community trust

Following the fiduciary portion of the meeting, United Way will launch their exciting vision for the future which includes a new digital transformation focused on providing highly personalized experiences and a new Social Impact Lab.
