Greater Ottawa County United Way Online

View our 2013 Volunteer Stars!

Underneath everything we are, underneath everything we do ...

We are all people—connected, interdependent, united.

And when we reach out a hand to one, we influence the condition of all.

GIVE.  ADVOCATE.  VOLUNTEER. LIVE UNITED.

Greater Ottawa County United Way is ... all of us. We are local people finding cost-effective solutions to local problems—and finding ways to prevent problems from happening in the first place.

We mobilize the caring power of our community to advance the common good.

We do this by a proactive year-round approach that includes:

• Annual Community Campaign (fundraising)
• Community Investment Process (allocations)
• Community Volunteerism
• Community Assessment

We create the building blocks of a better life in four impact areas:

• Emergency Assistance & Basic Human Needs
• Education
• Financial Stability
• Health
