UWBA BEGINS ITS COMMUNITY TOWN HALL SERIES

The work of United Way Bay Area has always been about supporting communities. Ensuring individuals and families have equitable access to the tools and opportunities needed to thrive by bringing people together and fighting poverty collectively. While we have many programs addressing needs, we want to ensure we continue to go back to the community and include the voices that want to be heard in the conversation.
