Many in San Antonio are Homeless. Hungry. Reeling from Disaster.

We all want the children in our community to succeed. We want to open the vast potential of our future inventors, visionaries, and leaders.

However, too many children are living in poverty and not receiving an opportunity to be successfully educated. They fail to start school on track, are not reading on grade level, and either do not graduate or fail to do so ready for college, and/or fail to meet vocational training standards.

Here’s how we are helping. United Way’s Ready Children Impact Council ensures all children grow up in safe, stable and nurturing environments, are healthy in mind, body and spirit and are ready to enter kindergarten and succeed in school.

Our Successful Students Impact Council ensures all young people are actively engaged in their communities, prepared for the 21st Century workforce and have resource-rich environments with prepared and engaged adults to support them in reaching their full potential

We all want to create pathways to empower San Antonio’s individuals and families to reach financial stability and well-being while supporting them along the journey.

However, too many in Bexar County are living at or near the poverty level, are pressured by employment instability and lack sufficient financial education to stabilize and advance their economic condition.

Here’s how we are helping. United Way’s Strong Individuals and Families Impact Council ensures all individuals and families are stable, flourish economically, reach their full potential and maintain a quality of life free of discrimination.

We all want a thriving population. However, many in our community are homeless. Hungry. Reeling from disaster.

Serving homeless and hungry individuals and families happens on a continuum of care, with the ultimate goal for each individual and family to obtain and maintain stable affordable housing and become food secure.

Here’s how we are helping. The United Way Safety Net Impact Council supports emergency and disaster care services to help stabilize individuals and families, meeting their most immediate needs. The Council focuses on providing short-term assistance that leads to self-sufficiency.

We are working to reduce hunger, homelessness, and insecurity by providing information and access, strengthening partnerships, and offering a continuum of care, to ultimately lead to homelessness and hunger being rare, brief, and non-reoccurring.

United Way’s business model and funding priorities are strategically shifting to effectively drive change with limited resources. By investing in a streamlined set of priorities that focus on those groups with the greatest needs, United Way will continue to bring the community together to achieve meaningful and measurable results that help others achieve and maintain self-sufficiency. To live better. We must Live United.
