About Us
Mission
To improve the quality of life in the community.
Vision
The United Way of Southwest Alabama will strengthen communities by focusing on uniting and mobilizing resources in support of the building blocks for a better life: Education, Financial Stability, Health, and Essentials.
Live United
Advancing the common good is less about helping one person at a time and more about changing systems to help all of us. It’s the idea that we all win when a child succeeds in school, when families are financially stable and people are healthy.
United Way of Southwest Alabama is creating real, lasting change right here by focusing on the building blocks of a better life. We strengthen neighborhoods, bolster the health of our communities and we change the lives of those who walk by us everyday. For 85 years, your contributions to our local community partners have helped those most in need, right here. Each time you give, advocate or volunteer, you are part of the lasting change. You are choosing to LIVE UNITED.
