United Way for Southeastern Michigan
We mobilize the caring power of Detroit and Southeastern Michigan to improve communities and individual lives in measurable and lasting ways.
IN OUR REGION, NEARLY HALF OF HOUSEHOLDS STRUGGLE TO MEET THEIR BASIC NEEDS.
Even before the COVID-19 pandemic hit Southeastern Michigan, families in our community were struggling. Now, the situation is dire.
People are struggling to find jobs, or they’re working, but not making enough to provide for their families. Parents are forced to choose between feeding their children and paying the rent. Senior citizens have to go without prescriptions. Children struggle to keep up in school. College students have to go without health care.
