At United Way, we believe a safe and healthy community is one that supports individual health, where everyone can live free of violence and abuse, where opportunities for physical activity and nutritious food are accessible, and where people of all ages have health care services including prescription assistance.
​
Safe & Healthy Community Council volunteers recently focused on mental health issues to help individuals, families, and youth connect to available resources and to expand peer supports for people living with mental illness.
