“(continued from line 1) united way of the bluegrass is a leader and motivator of change for long-term solutions for our community. The community was brought together to determine the needs unique to central kentucky and consensus was reached on how to solve them, both short-term and long-term. We have committed to three focus areas to meet the needs of today and solve the problems of tomorrow: * education * income * health this change in approach has fostered a great deal of cooperation and innovation in the community. We have developed systems to evaluate the quality and success of the programs we are funding, so you can be assured your dollars will have the maximum impact on your community. United way isn't about short-term charity, it's about lasting change. Uwbg looks at the big picture - what resources are lacking, down to food, shelter and health needs, and how can uwbg address these issues to keep kids on track to graduate. Kids can't learn when they are hungry, when they are sick, or when they have to move from school to school. Kids who start to fall behind find it harder to catch up each year and get increasingly frustrated. That's why simple solutions, like volunteer readers and tutors at young ages, have proven to be so successful in increasing graduation rates later on. In central kentucky, uwbg is transforming the quality of life: 769 kids were mentored last year, 3,786 families had their taxes prepared and filed for free so they could get more back, more than 200 people were helped financially to assist with going back to school or buying their first home. Uwbg is working together to improve central kentucky. Join us and invest in your community through the united way of the bluegrass.”
