United Way of Greater Houston

Mission

We work together to improve lives, build a stronger community, and create meaningful opportunities for people to prosper.

Since 2001, United Way of Greater Houston has been leading disaster recovery efforts. We serve as a convenor, funder, and critical information resources. Through our 211 Texas/United Way HELPLINE, we answer information and referral calls 24 hours a day for 33 counties in Texas and 75% of the state after hours and on weekends. In addition, we facilitate and lead long-term recovery groups in Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery, and Waller Counties. During major disasters, we stand up a fundraising effort to raise funding for disaster recovery efforts.
