Make a Gift Today
When you give to United Way, instead of tackling a single problem, you empower a system of support that fights the root causes of poverty by employing solutions to remove barriers and provide wraparound services.

Collection Drives
Every year, we rally local leaders, businesses, and social groups to collect items for community-focused drives. Join us by hosting a team collection or contribute personally!

Workplace Giving
Running a workplace campaign allows your organization to learn firsthand about the needs in West Michigan, show your commitment to social responsibility, and create rewarding team-building experiences through volunteerism.

Sponsorship
Partnering with United Way's events and initiatives aligns your brand with values focused on uplifting our neighbors and creating a stronger community. Consider sponsoring an event or program to support families throughout West Michigan.
