A volunteer is someone who is ready to give whatever they can to help whoever they can. Over the last 76 years, the Catawba County United Way has become a resource for those looking to give back to their community by giving their time and talents to bring hope to those in need.

Everyone has a right to a safe and peaceful environment to call home. Unfortunately, this is not always the case for many of our neighbors. For some, the issue is domestic violence. Others may have lost their job and struggled to find another before being evicted.

A key priority of the Catawba County United Way is making sure all students reach their potential. To help make this happen, the CCUW supports several programs focused on improving literacy, school readiness and making sure students are ready to become successful adults.
