Community Resiliency
A resilient community is one that can prepare for, withstand, and recover from challenges—whether that’s a natural disaster, an economic downturn, or a family crisis. At United Way of Forsyth County, we strengthen resiliency by investing in programs and partnerships that provide stability, build capacity, and respond in times of need.
Preparedness & Response
When crises arise—whether from severe weather, sudden economic challenges, or unexpected community needs—United Way of Forsyth County is ready to respond. We partner with local nonprofits, government agencies, and volunteers to ensure families have access to immediate essentials like food, shelter, and supplies.
Beyond the urgent response, we also work year-round to strengthen community readiness, helping organizations and families build the capacity to withstand and recover quickly from future challenges.
Supporting Nonprofits
Resiliency starts with a strong nonprofit network. We equip local organizations with the training, resources, and connections they need to adapt to change and serve families effectively—even during times of crisis.
Volunteer Coordination
Volunteers play a critical role in resiliency. United Way mobilizes community members to step up in times of need, whether it’s responding to a disaster, assembling emergency kits, or supporting vulnerable families.
Building Long-Term Stability
Resiliency isn’t just about responding in the moment—it’s about planning for the future. By addressing the root causes of hardship and investing in solutions that reduce risk, we help families and our community recover stronger and build pathways toward long-term stability.
👉 Together, we can create a Forsyth and Dawson County that’s not just surviving challenges—but thriving through them.
