What is The Lenawee United Way & Volunteer
Center?
A county-wide effort to address health and human service needs.
Through a volunteer system, United Way brings together all types of individuals, businesses, and organizations in a united, grassroots approach. Beyond the role of fund raiser, Lenawee United Way operates a Volunteer Center, provides information and referral to community services, participates in community coalitions and planning, acts as a resource to agencies, and conducts county-wide demographic research and needs assessment.
People helping people
Over 100 organizations are being funded to assist 30,000 of our neighbors. Children, teens, adults, and senior citizens from all economic, social, and ethnic groups are receiving preschool education, CPR training, child abuse prevention, hospice care, and more. Many services teach people how to help themselves and others.
Local
Volunteer and financial resources are gathered to benefit the Lenawee County community. Over 99% of the dollars raised remain in Lenawee County.
