Healthy Community

Everyone deserves the chance to make healthy choices for themselves and their families. But, in some neighborhoods, it's harder to access healthy food, quality healthcare, or support services. Untied Way of Central Illinois works with local partners to break down those barriers. Together, we're helping more people get the nutrition, care, and resources they need to live healthier lives.

United way of Central Illinois helps people live healthier lives by making it easier to get quality healthcare, no matter their income or background. We support caregivers, help seniors, and work to remove barriers that help our most vulnerable neighbors from getting the care they need.

Too many of our neighbors worry about where their next meal will come from. Even more struggle to find healthy, nutritious food. United Way of Central Illinois partners with local organizations to fight hunger in our community. Together, we're finding new ways to make sure more families have access to the food they need to stay healthy and strong.
