Western Racine County
United Way is committed to enriching the lives of children and families throughout Racine County. This year United Way will invest more than $550,000 in programs, services and special projects touching the lives of approximately 30,000 residents in the communities west of I-94. Since 2009, United Way has maintained a satellite office in Burlington giving residents more access to United Way resources and helping strengthen partnerships with the local communities.
In 2010, United Way funded programs served western Racine County residents in many ways.
- Counseling services were provided to more than 1,000 individuals.
- Almost 3,000 students improved life skills as they learned about healthy habits, safety strategies and getting along in an increasingly diverse world.
- More than 500 families in Burlington, Union Grove and Waterford received emergency food during the winter months.
