INSPIRING HOPE For over 75 years, United Way of the CSRA has been the way our community comes together to invest in quality agencies, programs, and initiatives addressing issues our community cares about most. United Way is the largest funding source of health and human services in the CSRA, but the value does not stop there. Beyond simply providing resources for needs, your United Way is making a tangible impact by uniting the people, organizations, and resources to build a stronger, safer, and healthier community. In 2013, United Way funded 44 programs and provided services to thousands of Central Savannah River Area (CSRA) residents in need of assistance. This positive impact on the lives of local residents was made possible by the generous donations of people just like you to United Way. Please consider a gift today to help improve the quality of life for your family, friends, and neighbors.
