Financial Stability Programs
Guiding families toward a path of financial stability
United Way of York County, SC is creating partnerships to raise working families in our community to self-sufficiency by focusing on underemployment and financial literacy. We aim to offer effective pathways for low-to-moderate-income working families to rise to the level of self-sufficiency.
Our Bold Goal will require collaboration, coordination, commitment, and investment in deeper relationships with our strategic partners. Together, we can help 3,000 York County families achieve financial stability by 2030.
