Who We Are

WHO WE ARE

United Way of Southwest Georgia is in the business of community impact - improving lives by mobilizing communities to create sustained changes in community conditions.

Many of us have decided to "Live United". Family, friends, faith and love of country and community have become the highest priorities for the vast majority of us. United Way of Southwest Georgia supports programs that touch virtually everyone in our community, making it a better place to live, work and raise our families.
