United Way of North Rock County is driven by the commitment to make a difference in people's lives and strengthen our communities.

Focus is on resources on the most important needs in the community by:

• Supporting not-for-profit agency programs ensuring your contribution is used efficiently and effectively in a way that has the greatest impact both on individual's lives and the community as a whole.
• Participating in local coalitions, task forces and initiatives that focus on creating solutions to the most critical issues in our community.
• Providing services through:
  • First Call, an information and referral program for people living in Rock County and the Stateline area,
  • Volunteer Network, a resource linking youth and adult volunteers with local agencies needing help.

United Way contributions invest in these impact areas:

• Enhancing Health and Supporting Wellness
• Building and Sustaining Strong Families and Communities
