Community Resilience

When a crisis happens, it is crucial to have a set of tools ready to respond. Our work in Community Resilience focuses on supporting individuals and families during times of crisis—whether they’re struggling to pay rent, afford food, or keep the utilities on, or coping with the aftermath of a natural disaster. We partner closely with local organizations, emergency responders, and community leaders to build a more connected and supportive safety net, ensuring that help is available when our neighbors need it most.

Born Learning

Everyday life is a learning experience for children.

Parents and caregivers of young children understand that the early years are important, yet many aren’t sure how to encourage early learning, or feel they don’t have time to do what it takes to help their child succeed in school. Many communities are concerned about children coming to school unprepared.

At United Way, we support the core values of Parents as Teachers:

Education

Every child in Pickens County deserves to walk into kindergarten ready to learn and leave third grade ready for the rest of their life. United Way of Pickens County invests in education programs that make that possible, with a bold goal of ensuring 70% of Pickens County 3rd graders are reading on grade level by 2028. Your gift makes that goal achievable.
