United Way of the Lakeshore advances the common good and creates opportunities for a better life for all by focusing on Education, Income and Health – the building blocks for a good life. There are basic things we all need for a good life: a quality education that leads to a stable job, income that can support a family through retirement, and good health. Our goal is to create long-lasting changes that prevent problems from happening in the first place.

More than fundraisers, United Way partners in change, working with a broad range of people and organizations to identify and resolve pressing community issues. United Way continues to lead the nonprofit sector in the call for transparent accountability and measurable results.
