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.
