mission statement

United way of the greater dayton leads a united community to uplift our neighbors. A volunteer-led organization, united way is the area's largest private funder of health and human services, primarily provided by local agencies in montgomery, greene and preble counties. United way focuses on underlying causes to get to the heart of local problems and to prevent them from happening in the first place - such as preparing youth to succeed in school and the jobs of tomorrow, or preventing home foreclosure and homelessness. Our local united way also connects people in need with services through helplink 2-1-1 and connects people with volunteer opportunities through volunteer connection.
