MAKE AN IMPACT
In Merced County, a family of four needs an average of $75,000 annually to meet living expenses, yet the average household income is only $56,000. To address this disparity, United Way of Merced County is dedicated to enhancing program accessibility and information for residents, focusing on health, financial stability, and digital equity. Our strategy includes leveraging our 211 and CalAIM services to strengthen the community infrastructure, providing essential administrative and financial support to local nonprofits to maximize their impact, and fostering collaborations with stakeholders across the county. By working together, we aim to create an environment where every Merced County resident has the opportunity to thrive. Your support is crucial in turning this vision into reality.
