Get Involved with United Way’s Financial Stability Partnership

 

United Way’s Financial Stability Partnership was created to strengthen communities by identifying and tacking the underlying causes of the financial hardship facing today’s families.  Just as other United Ways, our local Partnership is bringing together cross-sector partners to help lower-income individuals and families achieve financial independence – by  empowering them with the tools and skills necessary to maximize their income, build savings and gain assets.

Contact Impact Council Director Lorie Travaglino at 330-491-9983 or by email to find out how you and your organization can make a difference in people’s lives right here in our community.
