UNITED IS THE WAY TO LASTING LOCAL CHANGE. The United Way of DeKalb County, Inc. was originally organized by a small group of community visionaries in 1960. Oren.

Mission: United Way of DeKalb County brings people and resources together to build a healthier community, expand opportunities for youth, strengthen financial security, and foster a resilient, connected DeKalb County. Vision: We envision a DeKalb County where every person has the opportunity to reach their full potential, supported by a united community working together to create lasting change. Values Statement: At United Way of DeKalb County, our work is grounded in these core values:

Collaboration: We believe lasting change happens when we bring the community together around shared goals. Community Impact: We are focused on measurable results that strengthen the foundations of a healthy, secure, and resilient DeKalb County. Compassion: We approach our work with empathy, always striving to uplift individuals and families with dignity and respect. Integrity: We are transparent, accountable, and driven by a deep sense of responsibility to our community and partners. The "DeKalb United Fund for You" raised $49,195 during their first campaign and with those dollars were able to help support nine agencies. One founder of the United Way was Ms. Barbara S. It was through her spirit and determination that we have grown to the successful organization that we are today. Today, the United Way of DeKalb County is able to help fund multiple agencies and programs within DeKalb County through our ALICE and Community Impact grants. The United Way of DeKalb County is also a member of United Way Worldwide and Indiana United Ways.

🍂💙 MISSION MONDAY | GRATEFUL HEARTS. GREATER IMPACT. 💙🍂

November is a season of gratitude, and throughout the month, we're taking time to recognize the people, partnerships, and generosity that make our mission possible!

This week, we're starting with the heart of so much of what we do: OUR VOLUNTEERS! ❤️

From lending a helping hand at community events to rolling up their sleeves for Day of Caring, serving on committees, and supporting local programs, our volunteers give something truly priceless: their time.

Every hour given, every task completed, and every act of kindness helps create lasting local change right here in DeKalb County.

To every volunteer who has stepped up, shown up, and given back, THANK YOU! 💙

Your willingness to serve reminds us that some of the greatest gifts don't come wrapped in a box. They come from people who care enough to make a difference.

✨ This week, we're grateful for YOU!

UNITED IS THE WAY. 💙

🎃💙 THINK OUTSIDE THE CANDY BOWL! 💙🎃

Halloween is a time for costumes, candy, decorations, and making memories. But for many ALICE families, even the smallest holiday expenses can add up.

ALICE stands for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. These are hardworking individuals and families who earn above the federal poverty level but still struggle to afford everyday essentials.

And when you're already stretching every dollar to cover housing, groceries, transportation, and childcare, things like Halloween costumes, classroom parties, and candy may simply not fit into the budget.

But here's the good news — a little kindness can make a BIG difference! ❤️

👻 Donate costumes your children have outgrown.
🍬 Consider adding small snacks or easy meals alongside Halloween treats.
🎃 Help provide classroom party supplies so every child can participate.
🏠 Share decorations you no longer use with another family.
💙 Show extra appreciation to the hardworking cashiers, delivery drivers, and other essential workers who help make the season possible.

Halloween should be about fun, community, and making memories — not financial stress.

✨ Swipe through for 5 simple ways YOU can help make Halloween a little sweeter for everyone!

Because building a stronger DeKalb County starts with understanding the challenges our neighbors face and finding ways to support one another.

UNITED IS THE WAY TO FINANCIAL SECURITY. 💛

❤️ MISSION MONDAY | Your Dollar In Action

One gift can make a difference.

But something even more powerful happens when we give together.

Your $5 joins someone else's $10.

A monthly gift joins an employee's payroll deduction.

An individual's donation joins the support of local businesses and organizations.

And suddenly, those individual gifts become something much bigger.

Together, they help put books into children's homes. 📚
They help families meet basic needs and work toward stability. 💛
They help connect neighbors with safety, support and resources. 💚
They help strengthen the organizations and connections that make DeKalb County more resilient. ❤️

That's what it means when we say:
UNITED IS THE WAY.

Different people. Different gifts. Different ways of giving.

One community creating lasting local change together. 💙

💜 COMING TOGETHER FOR SAFER, STRONGER COMMUNITIES! 💜

Today, United Way of DeKalb County is proud to be participating in the DeKalb County Domestic Violence Taskforce 3rd Annual Conference!

We'll have a booth at the conference, connecting with fellow community partners, sharing resources, and continuing important conversations about supporting individuals and families impacted by domestic violence.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and we're reminded that building a healthy community means making sure our neighbors have access to the support, safety, and resources they need.

💜 It takes awareness.
💜 It takes advocacy.
💜 It takes partnerships.
💜 And it takes a community that cares.

We're grateful for opportunities like this to learn, connect, and work together toward lasting local change!

UNITED IS THE WAY TO A HEALTHY COMMUNITY. 💚
