Get Involved
United Way is powering a movement to cut Bay Area poverty in half by 2020. It’s called MAKE IT BE. If you believe that poverty is unacceptable, take a stand. Join the movement and get involved in our community.
Lend a Hand: Volunteer Today
Give back to our community: help urban youth develop job skills, learn how to prepare a low-income family’s taxes, or serve food at a soup kitchen. Volunteer.
Cut Poverty 15 Minutes at a Time
MAKE IT BE “Micro-volunteering!” We’ll match your skills and interests with small manageable tasks that you can do from your desk or smart phone in as little as 15 minutes. Take Action.
