United Way of Southwest Alabama

Advancing the common good is less about helping one person at a time and more about changing systems to help all of us. We strengthen neighborhoods, bolster the health of our communities and change the lives of those who walk by us every day by helping and collaborating with local nonprofit agencies, and providing financial, volunteer, and advocacy support.

We also advocate for social issues, convene community leaders from across all sectors to solve local human services problems, provide volunteers for a myriad of local projects, study and address long-term solutions to emerging social challenges, and raise funds through workplace campaigns and individual donors.

For 99 years, your contributions have helped those most in need, right here in Southwest Alabama. Each time you give, advocate, or volunteer, you are part of the lasting change.

Mission:

Where there's a community need, there is the United Way. From advancing health and education to strengthening livelihoods and local resilience, we connect people to possibility in Choctaw, Clarke, Mobile, and Washington Counties.
