WHO WE ARE
The United Way of Logan County has been working for good for over 50 years in our community. Financial support from the community - individuals, businesses and civic groups - allows United Way to partner with 15 programs that serve our county's youth, seniors, and those with financial or health challenges. Coming together, we can improve the health, education and financial stability of the residents of our county, and build a stronger community.
Won't you help us LIVE UNITED? GIVE. ADVOCATE. VOLUNTEER.

Consider this: 5.6 million US teens and young adults ages 16 to 24 are neither in school nor working. Many of these "disconnected youth" are simply cut off from the education and career paths that could help them live a good life and make positive contributions to our society and our economy.
According to the U.S. Census, it is estimated that around 18% of the population of Logan County, Illinois is age 65 or older. Programs that enhance the lives of seniors are of great benefit to the community.
Programs that provide the youth of Logan County with educational and social opportunities are vital.
Access to quality care to maintain physical as well as mental health are important to a community. Programs that assist with life skills and employment training contribute to the financial health of families and individuals, improving quality of life.
