United for action
United Way of the Greater Dayton Area advocates at the local, state, and national level. We take on the issues that matter to children, individuals, and families in Greene, Montgomery, and Preble counties.
United, we have the power to educate policy makers. Without advocacy, our elected leaders may not realize the importance of our local concerns and the impact they have on the people of the Greater Dayton area. We work to build relationships with our representatives and highlight the advocacy work we are doing together for our community.
