For over 79 years, United Way of Southwest Louisiana has been committed to building strong, successful families and strengthening our community. Join us as we continue to address the underlying causes of community problems, transform lives and create opportunities for a good life for all!
The updated ALICE Report places a spotlight on a large population of hard-working residents who work at low-paying jobs, have little or no savings and who are just one emergency or crisis from falling into poverty.
Programs funded by United Way of Southwest Louisiana are closely monitored by volunteers and staff to ensure their success at making our community a better place to live, work and raise our families.
We fight for the health, education and economic mobility of every person in every community. Our goal is to create long-lasting changes that prevent problems from happening in the first place.
We invite you to be a part of the change.
