Education is the cornerstone of individual and community success. But with more than 1.2 million children dropping out each year, America faces an education crisis.

Whether it is a neighbor without health insurance, a victim of abuse, or someone struggling with mental illness or an addiction, United Ways are working to ensure everyone has access to affordable and quality care.

As many as one-third of working Americans do not earn enough money to meet their basic needs. For families walking a financial tightrope, unable to save for college, a home, or retirement, United Way is here to help.

Fundraising is only part of Greater Longview United Way's strategy. GLUW operates initiatives that address critical needs such as tax preparation, prescription drug discounts, and a database of community resources.
