United Way Mission

OUR MISSION

Improving lives by uniting the community.

When we all come together to give, advocate and volunteer, we can truly face the tough issues in Licking County. To live better, we must Live United.

OUR VISION

Licking County is a productive community where individuals achieve their full potential.

Founded in 1933, United Way of Licking County has evolved from its roots as a fundraising organization to a critical community convener that mobilizes local partners, including
businesses, community leaders, public officials and community
residents, to expand opportunities for people to succeed.

Our History

Serving Licking County For A Century

United Way of Licking County started in May of 1933 as the Community Chest of Licking County. When established the organization raised $43,570 for the Boy Scouts, Child Health Camps (now Camp O’Bannon), Girl Scouts, Newark City Hospital, Salvation Army, and the YMCA. Since then, we changed from the United Fund to United Appeal, until 1973, when we became the United Way of Licking County.

In a span of 90 years, we have distributed $59.8 million
