What We Do
DR. CATHY ASHBY – President & CEO
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, FINANCIAL STABILITY, and HEALTH. We work with our Community Partners to address the needs of today and tomorrow while seeking ways to create positive, lasting change.
Planned Giving
The Foundation was created to further the United Way of Abilene’s mission to improve lived in our community by building a permanent, sustainable avenue of support that generates income to support the annual operating expenses of United Way of Abilene.
