Orange County United Way

VISION: An Orange County where every person receives a quality education, is financially stable, is healthy and thriving, and has a place to call home.

ABOUT US: Orange County United Way is committed to improving the lives of everyone who lives here while empowering those who are most vulnerable.

Each year, we touch the lives of 1 in 4 of our residents. Through our three key initiatives – United for Student Success, United for Financial Security, and United to End Homelessness – we are working to ensure local students succeed, struggling OC families gain financial security, and our homeless neighbors find a place to call home.
