United Way of the Lakeshore Community Conversations Online Survey

Poverty is a serious issue in our community.  There are tens of thousands of people in our area who are struggling.  United Way of the Lakeshore is determined to change these numbers and the lives of these families.  We have set a bold goal of helping 10,000 more working families to meet their basic needs by 2025.  How do we help working families succeed?  That is where you come in!  We are seeking input from people across our communities, those who are struggling as well as from those who are helping or supporting friends, co-workers or family members in their struggles.  It is our hope to understand the barriers and challenges well enough in order to find ways United Way can help.  We think the answers we need to provide real help will come from input like yours for ideas and suggestions of what needs to change in order for our entire community to thrive.

Once we narrow the issues, we can engage community partners and funders on these issues to formulate a plan for action. Thank you for taking a moment to share through this brief survey!
