"I Live United because I believe in the power of community to solve complex social issues like housing and economic insecurity. When it comes to solving problems, we are stronger together than we are apart. Living UNITED to me means harnessing our collective strength to drive real and lasting change. Our collective strength means we are better able to break down barriers to stability and bring more effective resources to empower strong thriving families."

“I believe strongly in a community that comes together to help one another – to me, that’s what the United Way is all about. Helping people through difficult situations, and providing support to find resources that help our community members. This is why I Live United.”

"I Live United because I believe it is our collective responsibility to build community and lift up our most vulnerable residents. Individual actions, no matter how small, have the power to create positive change. But together, our efforts are amplified, connections are strengthened, and the future is brighter."

“I Live United because I believe in collective impact. I have had a personal interest in helping youth who have spent much of their lives in foster care. While helping them financially fills a gap, the challenges they face require the many services provided by United Way agencies. A holistic approach to helping these individuals gives them the support they need.”

"Living United has a special meaning for so many of the NCTC Staff and Faculty. Not only have we seen the tremendous impact the programs and services of United Way have provided for our students, but we have witnessed the overwhelming transition that giving to others has on ourselves. NCTC lives united because it is the right thing to do!"

I Live United because I know I can make a difference in the lives of others in big and small ways. We are called as neighbors to lift one another up. Plus, I’m building my legacy by demonstrating a life of giving and volunteering to my children, so they will grow up to be difference makers!

"I Live United because when people are in need, and there is hard work to be done, United Way of Denton County is there to help! When a group of Seniors presented their financial difficulties due to massive increases in their rent at a Lewisville City Council meeting, I immediately contacted United Way to find out what resources were available and how we could collaborate to find a solution. The United Way of Denton County team was instrumental in connecting the group with resources. United Way of Denton County and the City of Lewisville worked together to provide relief to assist our Seniors to alleviate the burden of increased living expenses. They are a great partner organization that I look forward to working with to find solutions for people in need in Denton County."

“I Live United because it’s a privilege to give back to a community that’s given me so much! Being involved in the betterment of our local nonprofits and United Way of Denton County is crucial in making the most of the place we call “home.” No matter who you are or what season of life you’re in, you are worthy of care and respect, and the more we help one another, the stronger and more united we become!”
