		LIVE UNITED United Way of America recently introduced this new tagline to the field.  Two simple words packed with lots of meaning.  LIVE UNITED is a credo, a mission, a goal.  A constant reminder that when we as individuals think outside ourselves, we have the power to facilitate change.  When we think of others lives as linked to our own, our compassion grows.  When we reach out a hand to one, we influence the condition of all.  We build the strength of our neighborhoods.  We bolster the health of our communities.  And we change the lives of those who walk by us every day. LIVE UNITED is a command.  TO GIVE.  TO ADVOCATE.  TO VOLUNTEER.  Because united, we can change what we see in our world.
		United Way Seeking LIVE UNITED Stories In every community there are great people who do extraordinary things that help advance the common good.  Every volunteer has a story to tell.  These are short, personal stories about people who are giving, advocating or volunteering in their community.  We want to include your story in our upcoming campaign video and marketing materials.  If you are willing to share your "How I LIVE UNITED" story (why you give, how you advocate or how you volunteer), please call the United Way office at 740.653.0643 / 614.833.6562.  In return, you'll get a free LIVE UNITED t-shirt and our thanks.

Our Mission:          Improving lives through the caring power of our community

Our Vision:             We will focus our resources to achieve the greatest impact on community needs.  We will accomplish our mission by convening, leading and challenging community partners to develop and support programs that improve quality of life.  We will create long-term change by measuring results.

Community Impact: Here in Fairfield County, we're focused on critical issues such as helping children and youth succeed, family stability, health care, mental health and wellness and job development.

Our goal is long lasting change that prevents problems from happening in the first place. We realize that we may never prevent problems, however we are focused on building a community where everyone has opportunities and resources to reach their potential.

Too many families are walking along a financial tightrope, barely getting by, with no ability to save for college, a home, or retirement. We are working to transform that financial tightrope into solid ground by helping families learn the basics of budgeting, increase their income and start to set aside savings.

A fire destroys a house in the middle of the night and the Red Cross is there, ready to provide comfort and assistance. A woman, sobbing and bruised, seeks shelter from her abuser at the Lighthouse. A dying woman lives the remaining months of her life with the support of Hospice. These, and countless other stories in 21 agencies happen every day in Fairfield County.

21 local agencies receive significant assistance from United Way of Fairfield County.

United Way receives its assistance from you.
