You've heard or seen the phrase (technically, it's a sentence, I suppose): Live United. We put it on everything we do here at Arrowhead United Way, and it's the slogan for United Ways around the world. But have you ever wondered what it means? And how do you do it?"Live United" speaks to the core of United Way's philosophy. It's the directive to work together to improve the common good within our community. When we are united, we are working together to solve the problems that destabilize communities: lack of education, unstable sources of income, and health problems. When we are united, we can make changes that would be impossible when we act alone.
