HELPING THOSE EFFECTED BY TODAY'S ECONOMY



 
United Way Group
Because of the economy, job losses, foreclosures and increase costs of living, this year has been challenging for many. But it's particularly tough on people in our community who rely on a strong network of health and human care programs. As the demand for basic needs has increased, so has the demand for related support services.
 
United Way of Northern Arizona is working to help those who are effected most by today's economy, in many cases, it's close to home - effecting our friends, neighbors and family members. Through partnership with various organizations, United Way of Northern Arizona addresses changing community conditions; such as, chronic homelessness, providing information for those who now face unemployment, and connecting community members to available resources.
