Our Campaign
The United Way of Wilkes County is working to advance the common good by focusing on identified
community areas of need as determined by our citizens. These areas are Crisis and Basic Needs,
Family and Literacy, Health and Counseling, Persons with Disabilities, Senior Services and Youth
Activities/Youth at Risk. Our Goal is to create long-lasting changes that prevent problems from
happening in the firstplace. We continue to envision a partnership with service agencies who share
the dream of solving problems and enhancing the lives of all citizens of our county. We invite
you to be part of the change. Together, united, we can inspire hope and create opportunities for
a better tomorrow.
That's what it means to
