    WE IGNITE CHANGE.

    Women United is a movement of United Way volunteers coming together to make real changes in their communities. Our work is about lifting each other up and building a better future for everyone. We empower each other to use our passions, our ideas, our expertise and resources to transform the very conditions in which people live.

    WE GET THINGS DONE.

    Communities need champions who understand their problems, see their potential, and will offer solutions that will make a difference. We ignite the power of women – who bring the passion, expertise, and resources needed to get things done – to create lasting change in their communities.
