A Journey to Stability and Giving Back "I've been in my apartment for about a year now and am currently volunteering at The Salvation Army to thank them for the assistance they gave me when I was in need. I have also applied for an open position and hope to join the staff at The Salvation Army." Donald’s story is a testament to how The Salvation Army - Newark, Ohio Corps, with support from United Way of Licking County, helps individuals rebuild their lives. From emergency shelter to permanent housing, these programs provide the resources people need to find stability and give back to their community. You can help others like Donald!

Empowering Youth to Make Healthier Choices An 8th-grade student from a Licking County school shared, “I'm not going to lie, I have been vaping for a while, my older sister vapes and we vaped together. After hearing you present in my classroom, I quit vaping because I learned about the dangers of vaping. I’ve been vape-free for 3 weeks.” Thanks to Pathways of Central Ohio's Preventative Services supported by United Way, students are learning the facts and taking control of their health. You can help more students make positive choices! Support life-changing programs by donating today at unitedwaylc.org/give.
