Solutions
We bring people together to develop and implement community wide change. Whether it’s aiding in the creation of local non profits or providing capacity building, support, and fiscal management operations to local organizations, United Way of Will County has been bringing the community together since 1936.
We helped form the following Not-For-Profit’s in direct response to community needs:
- Child Care Resource and Referral (CCR&R)
- Community Foundation of Will County (Originally Will County Community Foundation)
- DayBreak Homeless Center (Operated by Catholic Charities)
- Warren Sharpe Community Center
