Why give?

When you give to United Way, your gift supports our entire community - more than any single cause.

Here's why: 

  • United Way is the demonstrated leader in helping Houston respond to natural disasters and coordinate area services.
  • It is the only organization that provides a social safety net for every member of the community.
  • United Way contributions make investments in the community that result in real change - a hand up, not a handout.
  • Trained volunteers make sure every United Way program is well-run, efficient and successful.
  • United Way services cover the entire circle of life, touching one out of every two lives in our community.

We do something about it, the United Way.

 

The results: 

  • 82 percent of students in United Way programs were more successful in school.
  • 86 percent of moms and dads in United Way programs improved their parenting skills.
  • 83 percent of seniors received the help they needed to remain in their own homes.
  • 69 percent of participants gained the job skills they needed to enter the workforce. 

Let's do something about it. You may pledge by payroll deduction online or mail your "give now" pledge form or contribution to Rice United Way-MS 700.
