Nurturing Healthy Families
From meeting immediate needs by providing meals to people in crisis to long-term solutions that improve accessibility to nutritious food, United Way of Northwest Georgia supports strategies and programs to ensure someone’s zip code doesn’t determine their health status.
A Healthy Community Starts Here.
We can all work together to improve the health of individuals and families in our community. Taking care of basic needs and investing in long-term strategies will help everyone reach their full potential. From food pantries and home-delivered meals to the elderly, ending hunger in our community is possible. Together, we can help improve individual lives and make our community stronger. United, We Make the Difference.
