United Way of Marion County is committed to advancing the common good by forging strong relations with Partner Agencies. Together, these partnerships are dedicated to improving lives in the areas of strengthen families, nurture children, foster self-sufficiency and meet survival needs and basic skills. Whether the focus is on early Childhood Education & Youth Development, Diversity & Tolerance, Financial Stability, Homeless Services, Domestic Violence or Heath & Basic Needs, our partners are vital lifelines within the communities we work and live.
Over 30 Partner Agencies help to provide health and human care services through our Community Care Fund. Through affordable childcare and job training, struggling families become self-sufficient. Health and human service programs ensure the safety of all individuals by providing aid in times of crisis. Together, our collective goal is to create long-lasting and measurable changes that improve the quality of life for struggling individuals, families and children throughout Marion County.
