United Way of Anderson County invites you to a focused session on the real needs and strengths of our community. We will share highlights from our 3-Year Community Needs Assessment and ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) data to help paint a clear picture of life for many families in Anderson County. You will learn what United Way is doing to address these challenges, who our local partners are, and how you can join the efforts already underway to care for one another and create lasting change. Whether you are a resident, volunteer, or community leader – this session is for you.
