United Way believes that the best way to make an
impact is to focus on the root causes of the most serious
problems. It takes the whole community -- working
together -- to create measurable results and improve
the lives of more people than any of us could be working
alone.
The United Way of Sumter, Clarendon & Lee Counties
has partnered with key organizations and community
leaders in our three counties to determine the most
pressing issues facing our region and developed a
community assessment of the findings called "Facing
Facts." As a result of this effort, staff and volunteers
are redirecting their focus on issues that have been
identified as critical in our community:
- Early Childhood Education
- Teen Pregnancy Prevention
- Drug/Alcohol Abuse Among Youth
- Basic Needs (food, shelter, emergencies)
