United Way’s Leaders United is a powerful network of more than 2,500 people representing a wide variety of age groups, backgrounds, workplaces, and interests who are committed to improving our region. Members, who give $1,000 or more each year to support United Way and causes they care about, make an incredible impact on our communities. The group contributes more than $4 million annually through United Way fundraising drives and Leaders United group initiatives.
Leaders United focuses on housing and homelessness, and also supports hands-on United Way projects that help families make ends meet. Since 2016, Leaders United members have:
- Outfitted 32 apartments for people transitioning from homelessness to permanent supportive housing with plans for 35 more in 2022
