Mobilizing people and resources to improve 3rd grade reading and promote financial stability. Our mission is to mobilize the caring power of Pickens County to improve communities and individual lives in measurable and lasting ways. Community Impact is at the heart of everything we do. It starts with identifying the needs of our neighbors and the resources available to meet those needs. Your support of United Way of Pickens County is an investment in programs and initiatives that work to improve 3rd Grade Reading, Financial Stability, and Mental Health in our community. United Way of Pickens 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.
