Our mission...

... is to increase the organized capacity of people in Benton and Lincoln counties to care for one another.

Our vision is for a community...

• where people are committed to the well being of children
• where families are nurtured and supported and neighborhoods are safe
• where individuals are prepared to succeed in a complex, changing world, and a strong, diverse economy creates good jobs
• where all people see the possibilities for themselves and others, are healthy and living as independently as possible
• where diversity is embraced
• where people live and work together, encouraging and supporting one another

The United Way of Benton & Lincoln Counties partners with local organizations...

  ...that work to advance the common good by focusing on the basics we all need for success: education, income, and health. We all win when children succeed in school, families are financially stable and independent, and people have good health.

Our goal is to create long-lasting changes that prevent problems from happening in the first place. It takes everyone in the community working together to create a brighter future. So we bring together people from all across the community--government, business, faith groups, nonprofits, the labor movement, people like you--to tackle the issues. By working together we can create opportunities for a better life and create a stronger community. That's what it means to LIVE UNITED.
