What does my money do through United Way in my community?

Day of Caring participants working hard!Our City’s goal is to raise dollars for local people in need. A small contribution can do so much for our community. A donation of just a few dollars out of each paycheck through payroll deduction can make a significant impact on the lives of those that need it most over a year’s time. (Example: if each city employee donated $3.00 per pay period that amount would produce $84,000 per year! There is strength in numbers!)

United Way is not just for those individuals that are "at risk" or poverty level. It is for all of us: many donors have found themselves recipients of services such as job training, child care scholarships, counseling, and many other services.

All of the donations made by City employees stay in Santa Barbara County unless they are designated for outside of the area. A significant amount of the contributions stay in the local community through the many programs that benefit from United Way.

Here's what your dollars make possible:
