"To increase the organized capacity of people to be independent and self-sufficient."
Our Vision:
"To position the United Way 'system' in an effort to strengthen the
community's ability to impact its own problems."
Core Value:
The United Way is a delicately balanced 'system'
of donors' desires, volunteers' values and
agencies' operations focused on clients' needs.
United Way's primary focus is on long term hurricane recovery.
We are still providing a coordinated response to Katrina and Rita and
more recently, Gustav and Ike, so we can have a healthy quality of
life, a strong workforce and brighter economic future for our
six-parish area.
It's no longer business as usual when it comes to funding our programs. United Way has taken
a more 'hands on' approach and moved to a grant process, open to all health and human service providers.
