WHO WE ARE
United Way of Fostoria is a locally governed nonprofit investing directly in Fostoria-area programs and services. Our mission is to coordinate volunteers and resources — ours and our member agencies' — to improve the quality of life across our community, with a focus on education, income, and health.
We're not a distant chapter of a national organization. Every board member, every dollar, and every decision is local — which means the impact is, too.
OUR PARTNER AGENCIES
United Way of Fostoria proudly supports 16 partner agencies delivering essential services across our community, including food assistance, housing support, health resources, and youth programming. Working together — instead of independently — helps us avoid duplication, fill gaps, and make sure help reaches the people who need it most.
