    Bold Goals

    Three goals for a brighter future

    United Way of the Piedmont has identified three key goals to ensure a path to prosperity for every person in Cherokee, Spartanburg, and Union counties. These goals are ambitious and bold. But we know if we work together, we can transform our community.

    List of Services

    • Decrease the number INDIVIDUALS BELOW SELF-SUFFICIENCY BY 11,000 (10%)

      To be self-sufficient means an individual or family can pay for their basic needs without any form of public or private assistance. Self-sufficiency means you can make ends meet, but sometimes it's harder than we think. 

      Item Link List Item 1
    • Decrease the number of cost burdened low-income households by 6,000 (10%)

      Low-income households struggle to find affordable housing in our community. Cost burdened households end up spending more than 30% of their income on housing, leaving little for other expenses or savings. 

      Item Link List Item 2
    • Decrease the number of individuals living in poverty who are unemployed by 75% (3,700)

      Barriers to employment are often the greatest obstacle to self-sufficiency. Finding affordable childcare and transportation is extremely difficult for working families.

      Item Link List Item 3

    What we do

    We get closer to meeting our goals by working with local people and partners to make change happen.
