WHAT UNITED 4 CHILDREN DOES
United 4 Children makes children a priority. By providing children with healthy meals, creating safe places to learn and play, and providing social-emotional and inclusive services for children with special needs or challenging behaviors – United 4 Children ensures every child has the foundation to thrive.
United 4 Children provides high-quality support to childcare and afterschool programs so that families can feel at ease knowing their children, regardless of ability, are receiving the best care possible and have every opportunity to succeed.
CHANGE 4 CHILDREN
Join a fierce community of monthly givers. There will be a day when we get to celebrate every child having the foundation to thrive — regardless of race, zip code, or ability. Let’s celebrate that day together.
Change 4 Children is a monthly giving program — an opportunity to donate a set amount each month to build equitable, quality educational experiences for our region’s children.
Your gift makes an immediate and lasting impact on our region’s childhood educators – essential workers who provide crucial support to families and give children a safe place to learn and grow.
