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.
OUR MISSION
To improve lives by mobilizing the caring power of the West Central Texas area. We strive to collaborate to improve lives and better our community. We will do this by actively seeking to leverage the intellectual, organizational, institutional, financial, faith-based and personal resources of our communities as the best means to make positive, measurable and lasting change for the communities we serve.
With your support, we’re fighting for the health, education and financial stability of every person in every community. United, we succeed.
