LIVE UNITED MOVEMENT
Underneath everything we are, underneath everything we do, we are all people. Connected, interdependent, united. And when we reach out a hand to one, we influence the condition of all. That's what it means to LIVE UNITED.
LIVE UNITED is a call to action based on three engagement strategies: Give Back, Take Action, and Get Involved. Giving back involves donating to our mission work, taking action means advocating for our initiatives, and getting involved means volunteering to ensure we can have a lasting impact.
When you Give Back to United Way, you are not just helping one person or one family; you are contributing to a collective effort that can make a significant impact on our community. Your donation, no matter how small, can help us achieve our mission in ways that no single entity can on its own.
The United Way logo at the bottom of our letterhead and brochure is more than just a symbol. It serves as a seal of support and approval from the local community, representing the high level of trust for the United Way brand. When local support comes through the United Way Northern Ozaukee, potential supporters or foundations see that the community invests its resources in it, reinforcing the trust and support for our initiatives.
"United Way Northern Ozaukee stands out as a leader in trust-based philanthropy in our community. Their unwavering, intentional, and collaborative support has improved countless lives and reduced gaps throughout Ozaukee County communities. For Lakeshore CAC, the support of UWNO is woven throughout the entire growth of our organization, from inception to our current service of over 600 families annually. There is no doubt that the families of our community are safer, healthier, and more resilient because of the dedicated efforts of United Way of Northern Ozaukee". - Amanda Didier, Lakeshore Child Advocacy Center.
When you Take Action, you can make change happen with your voice. We encourage community members to stay informed and involved. Your passion and commitment to advancing health, youth opportunity, financial security, and community resilience are what make our collective voices heard. We need you to join us in this journey. Your actions can inspire others and drive significant change.
When you Get Involved, you share your time and talents with our community, helping to create positive change and playing a crucial role in it. Your contribution is not just appreciated, it's vital to our mission. Your involvement is what makes our initiatives impactful and successful.
“One person can make a difference, and every person should try." - John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
