It takes money to solve Dawson County's most critical issues. But, it also takes focus, creativeness and willing hearts and hads to get results.
It takes you and thousands like you who donate valuable time, talent and treasure to build a stronger and safer community.
To get results, United Way brings people and resources together to address the issues you care about most.
