Why should I give to United Way instead of just making a contribution to a single agency like the Red Cross, the Salvation Army or Big Brother Big Sisters?
When you join forces with others, your contribution has more impact. Your United Way investment, because it is magnified by the investment of others, has the power to bring about changes that matter in your community. When you contribute, you help more than one person or one charity. United Way is the collective power of people working toward long-term solutions, not short-term fixes.
