We Help People Achieve Financial Stability
A good job benefits more than the job holder — it benefits his or her family, neighborhood and entire community. When we're on solid financial ground, we're more likely to have access to good-quality heath care, provide a good education for our kids, and contribute to our local economy. That’s why Ada Regional United Way focuses on lasting income solutions (that go beyond charity) to help people build skills and education necessary to get, keep and advance in a good job.
At Ada Regional United Way, we are currently looking for new opportunities to partner together with other community organizations to help bring financial stability to more of our community. We know that to create the kind of impact we are looking for- that brings long term success and not just a temporary fix- it will take more than just us. It will take an entire community pulling together. We invite you to join us as we move toward a future with more financially stable families.
