together we are building A better Weld County
We can and we are accomplishing more together. You can change the lives of our more vulnerable neighbors. When you invest in United Way, you are helping a friend, a neighbor or even a family member.
United Way of Weld County is working on solutions in early childhood development, youth success, household stability, older adults and healthy aging and access to services. No matter the amount or what you contribute, you can help create the best possible community for everyone.
Would you join United Way in building a better Weld County for everyone? .
Hello United Way of Weld County staff partners. It is a privilege to work with YOU and to be part of all of the ways that we make a difference in Weld County. I hope that you will now join me in making an annual commitment to the current United Way fundraising effort with as generous of a donation as possible. On behalf of our more vulnerable Weld County neighbors who will be helped by your donation, thank you.
