Cedar Valley United Way believes every community deserves to prosper. That's why we work hand-in-hand with neighbors and local groups to help remove immediate barriers like shelter, food, utilities and rent. When these basic needs are met, individuals and families can focus on staying safe, healthy, and moving forward toward a better future.

Everyone deserves the opportunity to live in stable housing, earn a family-sustaining income, and build a more secure future. That's why we invest in workforce development, support access to quality housing, and help individuals and families gain the tools they need to achieve long-term financial stability and generational wealth.

At Cedar Valley United Way, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. That's why we invest in early education, expand access to quality afterschool and summer learning, support college and career readiness, and uplift the parents and mentors who guide them. By partnering with families, schools and community organizations, we help young people build the skills and support networks they need to succeed - every step of the way.

Everyone deserves the chance to make healthy choices for themselves and their familes. But in the Cedar Valley, many still face barriers. That's why Cedar Valley United Way partners with local organizations to expand access to physical and mental healthcare, safe and healthy relationships, and support for substance use, maternal health and child well-being. Together, we're breaking down barriers and building a stronger, healthier community.
