How Your Support Helps

Funds raised through Power of the Purse will directly support United Way of Stanislaus County’s programs, including:

- 211 Stanislaus County: Individuals in our community have 24/7 access to a caring team driven to connect them to resources when facing crises, barriers, or emergency needs.

- VITA: Free income tax assistance for low-income families provided by dedicated volunteers.

- Capacity building initiatives that build opportunities for local nonprofits to access innovative resources and guidance for sustainable organization effectiveness.

- Wherever gaps in service exist or whenever emergency needs arise, your generosity allows UWSC to immediately respond with impactful support focused on the health and well-being for our community members.
