United Way of South Texas

Empowering Communities Since 1981

United Way of South Texas was founded in 1981 by passionate local individuals dedicated to providing families with the tools and support necessary for self-sufficiency. This initiative began with a community-driven fundraising effort that not only saved thousands of dollars but also consolidated resources to maximize impact. By partnering with local leaders and businesses, United Way has created a clear path for accountability and investment in a diverse array of local nonprofits.
