BUILDING THRIVING
COMMUNITIES, TOGETHER
A thriving community for all.
At Heart of West Michigan United Way, we’re pursuing a vision of a thriving community for all. We fight poverty in Kent County by uniting resources from donors, workplaces, and grant funders with the most effective programs that intervene in crisis and empower people to build toward self-sufficiency.
Our mission is to unite community resources to invest in solutions that reduce poverty in West Michigan.
