UNITED WAY AND YOU–WHERE IT ALL COMES TOGETHER

A thriving community for all.

At Heart of West Michigan United Way, we’re pursuing a vision of a thriving community for all. We fight poverty in Kent County by uniting resources from donors, workplaces, and grant funders with the most effective programs that intervene in crisis and empower people to build toward self-sufficiency.

 

Our mission is to unite community resources to invest in solutions that reduce poverty in West Michigan.

OUR COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY

We recognize that structural racism and other forms of oppression have contributed to persistent disparities in our community. At United Way, we pledge to not only denounce racism, but to oppose all forms of intersecting oppression, including sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, ageism, and every other form of systemic oppression.
