United Way was built on the belief that together, we can accomplish more than any individual or organization can alone. Working together, we can make a better place to live, work and raise a family. The purpose of the United Way is to analyze community needs, bring people together to address those needs, evaluate organizations who have programs serving those needs, and then raise and allocate funds for those programs. The United Way of the Tri-Valley Area is part of a national system that works towards achieving common good in our communities. Your gift will go far, but not far away, as the Tri-Valley area includes all of Franklin County and Livermore and Livermore Falls. Payroll deductions and direct gifts are two of the many ways our donors help fund programs that meet the medical, financial, nutritional, and social needs of thousands of local people.
