Transformative. Impactful. Relationship-driven
United Way of Summit & Medina is changing the way our community tackles complex challenges. We seek out root causes and build connections that make an overwhelming system easier to navigate. We find out why people are struggling and walk side by side with them, making sure they get the help they need.
We’re working to create a system that empowers people to achieve lasting success through education, financial stability and healthy lives.
