United Way focuses on education, income, health and families,  because these are the building blocks for a good quality of life.
We are driven by the commitment to make a difference in people's lives and strengthen our communities.  We work to find long-term
solutions to community problems.  By addressing the causes of issues, we can change conditions for the future.

We do this by:

• Supporting not-for-profit agency programs ensuring your contribution is used efficiently and effectively in a way that has 
  the greatest impact both on individual's lives and the community as a whole.
• Participating in local coalitions, task forces and initiatives that focus on creating solutions to the most critical issues in
  our community.
• Providing services through:
  • First Call, an information and referral program for people living in Rock County and the Stateline area
  • Volunteer Network, a resource linking youth and adult volunteers with local agencies needing help
