Over 2.6 million volunteers have served through United Way in some capacity to better their local communities through numerous partner organizations. They focus on what they call the "building blocks," which includes education, income, and health, all working together to improve the lives of everyone they interact with. United Way realizes that everyone has different needs; whether it is sacrificing time or resources and gives ways for everyone to make an impact.

While United Way serves all over the world, United Way of Abilene focuses on 19 West Texas counties. United Way of Abilene partners with numerous local and global companies that perform varied services which includes the Alzheimer 's Association, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Boys & Girls club, and many more. Many people have a desire to make a difference in the lives around them, but do not know how to take that first step. United Way is able to bridge that gap in order to mobilize volunteers to improve their communities.

In order to raise awareness for United Way of Abilene and their purpose, we are putting on a charity concert that is funded by donations from the community and by donations from partner organizations and companies. Current and prospective partner companies and organizations are invited to attend, as are members of the community by purchasing a

Home Depot had a clear understanding of its various stakeholders and developed a strong commitment and relationship with its employees, customers, suppliers, communities, and the environment. Home Depot believed that most environmental groups were extremely powerful and had legitimate concerns for protecting the environment.

Although most of my involvement has centered around politics, where I have been an active volunteer in the current election cycle, my service also extends to the homeless community in the Quad Cities. After recognizing the extent of homelessness in Davenport, my friend decided to start a nonprofit 5K to benefit a local shelter and I immediately joined in the venture. By working with the shelter rather than independently, we were able to avoid the faults set forth in To Hell With Good Intentions. Our good intentions have donated over $10,000 to King’s Harvest Ministries, who uses funds in a way that raises the standard of living for the local homeless

During my senior year of high school, I made it a goal to partake in as many community service opportunities as I could. Coming from a big city, there was no shortage of these and after a few months of searching it led me to the Boys and Girls Club and a few other non-profits.
