We are improving opportunities for our youth to succeed in school. We work to stabilize families through programs that reduce hunger, improve housing stability and reduce domestic violence. We are improving health care accessibility for individuals of all ages to improve health and wellness. We do this through financial support of 38 programs at 25 non-profit agencies and through our two internal programs, 211 and Bright Beginnings. All dollars donated to the United Way Community Impact Fund stay local to help OUR neighbors.

UWCV CEO Kim Soerensen stated, “We are proud of our association with such prominent leaders from Lynchburg and the surrounding counties. Together, we will ‘Be the Change’, raising critical funding for our 25 nonprofit agencies.”
