United Way’s primary focus is on long term hurricane recovery. We are providing a coordinated response to Katrina and Rita so we can have a healthy quality of life, a strong workforce and brighter economic future for our six-parish area. It’s no longer business as usual when it comes to funding our more than 80 programs. United Way has taken a more ‘hands on’ approach and moved to a grant process, open to all health and human service providers.
We provide an organized system to make people more independent and self sufficient in Jefferson, Orleans, Plaquemines, St. Bernard, St. Tammany and
Tangipahoa parishes.
