Overview

United Way of Kern County creates lasting and measurable change in Kern County by focusing on the three, key building blocks of life: Education, Income, and Health.

We bring stakeholders together to generate philanthropy from all segments of our community, marshal resources, forge community consensus, and build coalitions and partnerships. The combined result is far greater than the sum of each individual component.

United Way's focus is to improve the Education, Income and Health of every Kern County resident:

Enable everyone to give and invest the funds where they are needed the most and have shown measurable results;
Engage people to advocate to change systems on behalf of those whose voice may not otherwise be heard;
Empower everyone to volunteer to maximize their impact on the lives of others.
