Mission: Our United Way has been improving lives since 1926 and in our existence it is estimated that we have put over $100 million back into our community. We have two primary focus areas: education and homelessness. We provide grants, educational support to nonprofit agencies, serve as a fiscal sponsor in helping new nonprofits grow, and most importantly, we create social change. "We work together to solve problems no one organization can solve alone."
Target demographics: homelessness and education
Direct beneficiaries per year: In the 2020-2021 fiscal year, we directly helped over 11 nonprofits in our county, including: Boys & Girls Club of Lodi, Child Abuse Prevention Council, Emergency Food Bank, Gospel Center Rescue Mission, Hospice of San Joaquin, San Joaquin General Hospital/Patient Helping, St. Mary's Dining Room, Stockton Shelter for the Homeless, Stockton Symphony, and Women's Center- Youth & Family Services.
