Our
Community Partners
United
Way-funded agencies as of July 2007
People need help all over, so United Way strives to impact
every area of Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties. We listen to our community.
Residents tell us what they consider to be their most critical issues and, ultimately,
help us determine which programs need funding. Our member agencies then partner
with us to provide services in all of these areas. A complete listing of our
agencies is available below.
