Giving should always be a personal matter and decision. It is believed that the most responsive contributors are those who have the opportunity to become informed and involved. United Way is independently operated and governed. This allows us to best serve the individual and varied needs here in Erie County. We serve and support the following communities: Sandusky, Castalia, Milan, Huron, Vermilion, Berlin Heights, Bellevue, Bay View, and Kelly’s Island.

“What does United Way do?” “Who are we?” United Way creates the opportunity for a better life for all by building stronger communities where people work together and live united.  We partner with people like you, and the institutions you are part of such as employers, faith organizations, educators, health providers, community leaders, youth and so forth. Education, Financial Stability, and Health are the pillars of our work. Big challenges aren’t solved one nonprofit at a time. Our partner agencies rely on the funds and support we provide them. We have the ability to help change the system so more entities in our very own communities can thrive. When United Way receives corporate sponsorships, donations, pledges, legacy gifts, alongside employers’ participation in our workplace giving program, it helps assure the availability of an entire network of services that no one agency alone can provide. With those contributions Erie County agencies are able to flourish.

The Alliance’s objective is to challenge the mindsets of Ohioans, including reframing the approach to drug misuse prevention and eliminating stigmas associated with addiction and mental illness.
