Serving our neighbor’s basic needs is at the heart of United Way’s work.

More than 100 years ago, United Way was created to organize support for those who were hungry, sick, disabled and vulnerable to crisis. Today, more than 244,000 households in our community have their basic needs in critically short supply or non-existent. To guarantee our neighbors can achieve their full potential, it’s essential to make certain every person in Central Indiana has access to healthy food, safe housing, quality healthcare and reliable transportation.
