What we do today will determine how we LIVE UNITED tomorrow.
Spokane County United Way fights to support safe homes free of domestic violence, child abuse and neglect, increase high school graduation rates and educational opportunities, and improve the financial stability of families to prevent hunger and homelessness.
Locally low-income and minority students are struggling to graduate at a disproportionate rate, creating an educational achievement gap. Our work is focused so that every child is supported both in and out of the classroom to stay on track and succeed in school and life.
Before COVID-19, locally 35% of people in our community are ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed). ALICE families struggle to make ends meet each month. One unexpected dilemma leaves them vulnerable for eviction or foreclosure.
Our community's domestic violence and child abuse and neglect rates are nearly double the state average. When a child experiences trauma it effects their education, health and life opportunities.
We all have a stake in creating a more educated, healthy, and prosperous community. Volunteers are at the heart of every community. We work to connect our community's needs with our community's talents.
