SUPPORTING THE MISSION IN ANSON COUNTY
In January 2022, a diverse committee of Anson County community members was created to identify areas of need where United Way funding can make the greatest impact in the Anson County community. Working together, our mission continues to focus on strengthening the overall health and well-being of Anson County citizens. We will focus efforts on two major areas: Economic Stability and Access to Quality Education.
Our focus in this area is on housing stability and food security. Access to housing, utilities, and fresh, healthy food continues to be a challenge for many of our Anson neighbors.

Our second focus is on childhood literacy and mentoring programs. Early language interactions and resources encourage higher literacy rates and academic success for children in their early academic years, providing a strong foundation for continued learning and success.
Supporting economically disadvantaged, at-risk youth, through mentor programs can help our middle and high school students prepare for their future. Mentor programs can increase academic achievements, improve mental health, increase confidence, and help students identify careers and college pathways.
