Making a gift to United Way is the most effective way to help our community at large. Our unique ability to work across complex issues with hundreds of community partners is unmatched. We put our donors in the driver’s seat, giving them the power to designate their dollars to a nonprofit of their choice or to support United Way’s mission.
We measure progress made in the community because we are focused on solid, tangible results that create lasting change. We mobilize volunteers and convene partner agencies, corporations, community leaders, and policymakers to make broad, systemic changes like no other organization can on its own.
United Way of Northwest Lousiana offers programs that help people in crisis get back on their feet, prevent future problems, and build a stronger community for all of us. Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, SingleCare Prescription Assistance Program, the Shreveport Financial Empowerment Center, and the 211 Health & Human Service Hotline are just a few.
