Greater Lorain County is extraordinary.
United Way of Greater Lorain County is committed to:
Traditionally, you’ve known United Way as simply a fundraising organization. But we are more than the fundraisers. We are the game changers.
We go looking for the problems that most people say can’t be solved. And we fight. United Way fights for the health, education, and financial stability of low-income working families in our community.
We can’t fix these critical problems by going at it alone. By sharing resources and aligning our goals with over 150 corporate, nonprofit and governmental partners, we can transform Greater Lorain County into the place we all want it to be.
As an independent, private not-for-profit organization we are governed by our own board of directors that are committed to fulfilling the aspirations of its moral owners, the residents of Lorain County and Vermilion and Florence Townships in Erie County, Ohio.
