WHO WE ARE
United Way of Southwest Georgia is in the business of community impact - improving lives by mobilizing communities to create sustained changes in community conditions. Whether it is to improve childcare, tackle the school dropout rate, reduce the number of teenage pregnancies, strengthen families, or provide living assistance to our elderly, United Way brings the community together to identify and address the critical issues here in Southwest Georgia.
Many of us have decided to "Live United". Family, friends, faith and love of country and community have become the highest priorities for the vast majority of us. United Way of Southwest Georgia supports programs that touch virtually everyone in our community, making it a better place to live, work and raise our families.
