Thank you for your support of United Way of Licking County Federation and YOUR community!
Our mission at United Way of Licking County is to improve lives by uniting the community. We do that by bringing together hundreds of volunteers to address the issues that face our community. We also work tirelessly to raise dollars that will fund programs that will act not as a band aid but rather address the whole problem, the whole family. We fight for those who need a voice and those we do not yet know. We fight for better mental health; we fight for children, youth, and families; we fight to stop poverty. To live better we must Live United.
