We unite in purpose to improve lives by mobilizing the caring power of our community. We support 29 partner agencies through funding, resources provision, and a collaborative approach to solving complex, community-wide issues. We connect volunteers and donors to the causes that matter most throughout our twenty-city region. UWJWC is the safety net for our service providing agencies and responds when disaster strikes our most vulnerable populations.

We know large-scale problems cannot be solved by a single organization. UWJWC provides the leadership as the convener and the catalyst to help our partners in our communities make lasting change to improve lives.
