Why Partner with United Way?

United Way of the Coastal Empire was founded by leaders of this community 85 years ago and continues to be volunteer-led. Our mission is to improve lives by mobilizing the caring power of the community. The Community Fund makes this possible. Events continue to drive awareness and increase support for the Community Fund or other specific funds.

United Way’s funded programs and services improve thousands of lives each year. One of the many values of sponsoring a United Way event is knowing your gift serves the community by providing a safety net for those most vulnerable and pathways for upward mobility so everyone can thrive.
