United Way of Metro Chicago

At United Way, their goal is not to return to normal, because normal didn’t provide opportunities for all our neighbors. Their goal is to create a vibrant Chicago region where all neighbors have access to the resources they need to thrive. Their goal is to build back better by ensuring all individuals and families can meet their basic needs and working alongside community leaders to rebuild neighborhoods to be stronger and more equitable.

Building a stronger, more equitable Chicago region.

United Way helps our neighbors meet their immediate basic needs by investing in organizations that provide food support and rental, mortgage, and utility assistance. Meeting basic needs is the foundation for building communities where every individual and every family can thrive.
