United Way saves the community thousands of dollars by consolidating fund
raising efforts, providing a clear form of accountability, and investing in a
diverse group of local non-profits. Every organization is looking to maximize
its investments and time commitments. What better way than the United Way to
reach this goal, giving through one agency to impact hundreds of thousands of
residents, here at home.
By
giving to the United Way of South Texas (serving Hidalgo and Starr Counties)
you are “Making lasting changes right here where YOU LIVE.” The United Way of
South Texas can help you plan and implement a campaign in your company.
100 % Of Your United Way gift remains in Hidalgo & Starr Counties. United
Way of South Texas funds over 100 programs through 23 Partner Agencies and
numerous Community Impact Grant recipients. Through these programs, we are
helping youth succeed, strengthening and supporting families by providing
employment placement for the disabled, elderly assistance, transportation
assistance, emergency shelter, CPR training, and many other critical services.
It
takes everyone working together to build something better. Each of
us can Give, Advocate and Volunteer.
