Health
United Way of Ashland County is committed to build a healthier, more resilient community by promoting physical activity, access to healthy food, mindfulness and access to quality health care.
Education
United Way of Ashland County works to make sure children and youth can start school ready to succeed, become proficient readers at a young age, stay on track in middle school, earn their high school diploma, trade or pursue a college degree.
Income
United Way of Ashland County believes that by empowering residents to get on stable financial ground we must partner with organizations that focus expanding and building on financial health and wellness.
The result of these three focus areas is a thriving community, where everyone has the opportunity to succeed.
