At the heart of our work is ensuring the safety net by providing life-saving services to meet our neighbors’ most basic needs, like food and shelter.

And, we create a pathway to self-sufficiency and success for our neighbors and our community. We provide the tools, resources and education for families to achieve financial stability and independence, for children to succeed in school and in life and for veterans to rebuild their lives after returning from service. Every day of the year, 24-hours a day, we are the voice of help and hope for those who call our 2-1-1 Texas/United Way HELPLINE. And, we bring stakeholders and our community together to address the most pressing needs in our area, improving the quality of life for everyone in our region.

Happy 137th birthday United Way Worldwide! United Way's unwavering commitment to strengthening our communities has made a lasting impact. We’re so grateful to be part of this network!
On October 16, 1887, a Denver woman, priest, two ministers and a rabbi came together because they believed there was a better way to meet the needs of local residents. They founded the Charity Organization Society, now known as United Way. We've had many names over the years but one mission: to build communities where all can thrive. Thank you for 137 years of support. We owe so much to our donors, volunteers and partners.

They say everything is bigger in Texas, and our Alexis de Tocqueville Society members brought every bit of that spirit to our Cowboy Couture Kickoff Reception at Goode Co. Armadillo Palace. Between the big hats and belt buckles, we celebrated even bigger community impact and the remarkable legacy of good that ADT donors are creating in Greater Houston. Thank you to everyone who joined us and to all who help us connect people to possibility.

We’d like to give a big welcome to our Project Blueprint Class XLV! This group is off to a great start. They’ve already participated in a retreat in Galveston and received an insightful presentation from Ruth N.

We are thrilled for these students to gain knowledge through this program and to learn new leadership skills!
