Why Support Your Local United Way?
Everyday people in our communities' struggle with issues that may seem impossible to solve. Limited access to health services, difficulty making ends meet, and unsure of where to turn. That's where your local United Way comes in to provide hope.
The Lake Martin Area United Way is working in the areas of youth opportunity, healthy communities, financial security, and community resiliency. Everyday we are working to help our communities thrive across Coosa and Tallapoosa counites.
But we don't do it alone - we bring people and organizations together to do more than any one of us can do on our own. Employers, other nonprofits, governments, faith organizations, community leaders, and many others partner with us to care for our neighbors in need.
The Lake Martin Area United Way supports 26 partner agencies and 6 outreach programs that provide services in one or more of the focus areas of - youth opportunity, healthy community, financial security, and community resiliency. Together, these partners, with financial support from our United Way, are able to touch over 20,000 lives annually across our 2 counties.
Donations made to our United Way are tax-deductible with 99 cents of every dollar staying local and invested in local programs and initiatives to improve lives and deliver results here at home. Every dollar, no matter the amount, makes a difference! When many give, whether it's $1 or $100 or $1,000, it all adds up and makes a remarkable difference in our communities.
