United Way Of Central And Southern Utah

EveryDay Support (Income) - Families and individuals have a basic need of achieving financial stability. We work to empower them to reach sustainable income by funding internal and community partner programs to provide free or low-cost resources. These resources include free income tax preparation, utilities and rent assistance, job skills training, adult computer literacy, and financial classes and counseling. In 2023, we brought back almost $5 million in tax refunds into the community through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program, which increases the stability and earning potential of those we serve.

EveryDay Strong (Health) - Anxiety and depression are on the rise in Utah County youth, and we are working to build resilient kids and strong communities. We do this by funding internal and community partner programs that provide free or low-cost resources. These programs promote health education and child abuse prevention, support suicide prevention training, and provide parent training and education. Last year, we trained every school counselor in the Alpine and Nebo School Districts, potentially reaching 80,000+ children. We aim to help every child in Utah County feel safe, connected, and confident.
