GIVE2UW LIVE UNITED DANCE TROUPE
@marlanfears
It’s no secret that people in our South & Southwest Suburban communities are facing some tough challenges. Statistics show that 1 in 5 low-income youth drops out of high school—and less than 10% who graduate go on to college. 80% of uninsured are working families, and 1 out of 4 families is so financially stretched that they must cut back on food, medical care and other necessities.
South-Southwest Suburban United Way (S-SW) is more committed than ever to helping increase the quality of life for those with the greatest challenges and needs in our community.
United Way increases access to the broad network of programs in our community:
YOUTH EMPOWERMENT Providing early childhood programs to give kids a strong foundation for lifelong learning; mentoring and stay-in-school programs to keep youth on track for graduation; summer camps that promote self-esteem and healthy social skills.
SELF-SUFFICIENCY Providing counseling and job retention education; transportation assistance and subsidized day care for working parents earning minimum wages; specialized job training and ongoing skill development to develop career paths; English-as-a-second-language and GED classes to help adults secure jobs that pay a living wage.
HEALTH & WELLNESS Providing assistance in accessing and navigating the complex Medicare and Medicaid systems; specialized care for seniors and people with disabilities; counseling and case management for people with mental illness and substance abuse issues.
CRISIS SUPPORT Providing temporary food, shelter and rent assistance to homeless individuals and victims of home fires or other crisis; safe haven, counseling and legal advocacy to victims of domestic violence.
Thank you in advance for caring about others and investing in our community.
