ABOUT US
United Way of Abilene is dedicated to bringing our community together to foster positive, measurable, and lasting change. We focus on three core areas: education, financial stability, and health.
TOGETHER, WE CAN DO MORE
Since 1956, United Way of Abilene has mobilized the caring power of our community to create lasting change for multiple generations. Everyone deserves opportunities to have a good life: a quality education that leads to a stable job, enough income to support a family through retirement, and good health. That’s why United Way’s work is focused on the building blocks for a good life: EDUCATION, INCOME, and HEALTH. We work with our Community Partners to address the needs of today and tomorrow while seeking ways to create positive, lasting change. Everyone in West Central Texas is connected and interdependent. We all win when a child succeeds in school, when families are financially stable, and when people are healthy.
