The Women United Commitment
Focused on generational poverty, Women United fights for self sufficiency, health, safety, and education in Will County through a community by community approach.
Our Social Change Projects
Women United transforms communities by addressing issues related to generational poverty. Our projects are organized and planned by Women United members to address identified community needs. These social change projects are not typical “one and done” volunteer events, but have long-term goals and objectives to make an impact.
