United We Shine
This holiday season, we’re shining a light on our nonprofit partners who are helping us end poverty in the Capital Region. For 12 days, starting November 29, we will feature a nonprofit partner who is working with us to build equity and end poverty in our community. We will bring you a specific need each is facing, and ask you to join us in supporting as many of these nonprofits as you can. Together, we can brighten our community!

Standing United for Inclusion and Equity
United Way California Capital Region Statement on Racism and Injustice
People across the country are expressing their outrage for the killing of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony McDade, and too many more.
Our United Way shares these feelings of sadness and outrage toward racial violence and injustice in our country. We are also asking ourselves how we can make a difference during this difficult time. If we are committed to building stronger, healthier, and more compassionate communities, then we must channel our justifiable outrage to collaborative action.
We must stand united for justice.
