United Way of McLean County is focused on advancing the common good by creating opportunities for a better life for all. Education, income and health are the building blocks for a good life. Education is essential to getting and keeping a job with a livable wage and health benefits. An income adequate to pay for today's necessities and save for the future provides individuals and families some sense of financial stability. Access to quality health care keeps children on track in school and adults productive at work. Remove any one of these building blocks and the other two topple. We will begin work on the building block of Health in 2009. In the meantime, we continue to support direct service programs in our community that target improving people's health. |
