We don’t do our work alone. We are in this together, and it’s the strength of our community partners that drives real change. Improving our community and the lives of our residents does not happen in a single moment—it happens in multiple moments created by thousands of people.
Our work is more important and needed now than ever before to rebuild a better future for the Bay Area. United Way Bay Area remains unparalleled in our power to convene partners, providers, and resources to address the needs of communities in crisis. We’ve been responding to local needs and society’s most pressing problems for more than 98 years. COVID-19 recovery is a new challenge for us; but UWBA was built for this.
A critical need of helping communities recover is accomplished by the work UWBA does every day through our programs. This essential work includes:
Helping feed those facing food insecurity through our Emergency Assistance Network (EAN)
Preparing children for success in school, work and life through our On Track career exploration
Connecting those in financial distress with resources to pay bills and stay in their homes through our Earn It! Keep It! Save It! (EKS) free tax prep sites and our SparkPoint financial centers
Ensure a complete and accurate Census 2020 count in the seven-county Bay Area region through our Bay Area Counts 2020 efforts
Families and individuals in the Bay Area may be eligible to receive federal stimulus checks and expanded unemployment benefits due to COVID-19. Don’t leave this money on the table. Let us help you claim your benefits.
