United Way of Southwest Louisiana sits on the committees for the Southwest Louisiana Human Trafficking Task Force, Louisiana Partnership for Children and Families, Louisiana Department of Health Region V Community Advisory and Action Team, SWLA Opioid, SWLA Suicide Coalition, United Against Human Trafficking and the Chamber SWLA Quality of Life Committee.

United Way of Southwest Louisiana has the ability to initiate projects independently in each of our four focus areas. These Initiatives address important community needs not already being met that we have identified as critical needs. They can be used to address emergency needs during times of natural disasters or critical community needs not being met.
