CREATING LASTING CHANGE, TOGETHER.
Our work focuses on building strong foundations—in education, financial stability, and health—so individuals and families in Reno County can succeed. We invest in solutions that go beyond immediate needs and create long-term impact.
YOUTH OPPORTUNITY
Helping children and youth achieve their potential through early childhood education, literacy, and school success. We support programs that close opportunity gaps and help young people build brighter futures.
FINANCIAL SECURITY
Supporting families in achieving economic independence through workforce development, housing stability, and financial education. Our investments help individuals overcome barriers and build lasting security.
HEALTHY COMMUNITIES
Promoting mental wellness, access to care, and healthy lifestyles for all ages. We support programs and partnerships that prioritize preventive care and holistic well-being.
COMMUNITY RESILIENCY
Building a stronger, more connected community that can adapt and thrive in the face of challenges. From disaster response and basic needs coordination to long-term systems change, we lead efforts that strengthen the social safety net and foster collaboration across sectors.
Our Commitment to ALICE Families
At the heart of our work is a commitment to ALICE—households that are working but struggling to afford basic necessities. These families often fall through the cracks, earning too much to qualify for public assistance, but not enough to achieve lasting financial stability.
United Way of Reno County invests in solutions that support ALICE households across all our focus areas—from quality childcare and affordable housing to mental health support and job readiness. When ALICE families are strong, our entire community becomes more resilient.
