Living in her car, Amber and her children needed help, fast!

Your donation can make a huge impact in helping people like Amber move from crisis to stability

OUR BOLD GOAL is to lift 15,000 families out of poverty and into self-sufficiency, one family at a time.

There is an urgency to our work as one in three households struggle to make ends meet. United Way of Pierce County is rooted in partnerships that help bring people from all walks of life together, improving conditions for children, families and individuals and tackling the most critical issues facing our communities, such as poverty.

Many are ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) families. Economic uncertainty and climbing inflation rates are hurting all families. Today's economy is especially devastating to lower-income households. These households face growing debt, lack of childcare and lack of housing.
 
 We can do more together than we can ever do alone! We ask you to join us in helping our community extend the hand of compassion to our neighbors struggling to get by. 

We'll reach our goal by:

• Ensuring that families have access to programs that support Basic Needs such as food, healthcare, childcare and shelter
• South Sound 211 is a free helpline that connects people to hundreds of services and programs to move families toward stability and self-sufficiency
• Our seven locations of Center for Strong Families  provides families with tools and resources that connect them to living-wage career pathways, solid financial action planning and strategies to reduce debt and build their assets

Because one in three families is too many....give today to help those in need and tackle poverty at its roots.
