Our Work: Our goal is to improve lives by mobilizing the caring power of communities. Everyone deserves opportunities to have a good life: a quality education that leads to a stable

job, income that can support a family through retirement, and good health. These are the focus areas we have moved towards. The 2016-17 funding focused on Education, Health, Income, and Emergency Services. The goal is to provide the community with funded programs that make a

difference by developing effective partnerships with the local agencies. Through these partnerships we will measure the program outcomes and impact on the communities needs,

communicate results and successes, and adjust our focus as community needs change.

EDUCATION: $83,250 United Way Worldwide believes education is the cornerstone of individual and community success. The United Way model focuses on supportive communities, effective schools and strong families — strategies and approaches

rooted in research. Tackling the education challenge requires reframing education from birth through high school. We were able to assist with 284,362 services.

HEALTH: $109,00 United Way strives to help all who are in need. Whether it is a neighbor without health insurance, a victim of abuse or ensuring a child has a safe place to call home, UWCA seeks to provide affordable and quality care for all in need. UWCA is working to make health necessities available to everyone in our Central Arkansas area. We were able to assist with 197,434 services.

INCOME: $105,000 By providing help to the homeless, those with developmental delays and those needing transportation, UWCA is helping relieve some of financial strain many people in our area feel. Allocating money for income programs has eased part of the financial burden for members of our community. We were able to assist with 131,863 services.

EMERGENCY SERVICES: $57,500 Our emergency services programs are intact for emergencies. These monies are set aside for people in immediate need. They are used to help those unable to pay electric bills or to help in the event of a natural disaster. This category alleviates some stress neighbors feel when they are at their most desperate. We were able to assist with 7,095 services.
