United Way brings communities together to find strength and share hope. It’s the way we rally in hard times to meet people’s needs so they can rise back up and build a better future.
Literacy doesn’t stop at childhood—it grows with us. From learning to read to reading to learn, lifelong literacy opens doors to opportunity, independence, and connection. Whether it’s navigating health information, advancing a career, or simply enjoying a good book, strong literacy skills empower individuals at every age to thrive. At United Way of West Central Mississippi, we believe in supporting literacy from the cradle through career, because a love for reading and learning never expires.
At United Way, we want all kids to soar. So we work with the people who care for them — from families and neighbors, to schools and community agencies — to connect young people with the support they need.
Everyone deserves the opportunity to earn a living that can sustain a family and build security for future generations. That’s why we’re partnering to help more adults thrive in a career, live in quality housing and build generational wealth.
United Way believes every community deserves to prosper. We work with our neighbors to build resilient communities that are more connected, supportive and ready to respond to any challenge.
