by Community Contributor • February 24, 2022 • Comments Off

Thanks to your continued generosity, your United Way has been able to navigate through these incredibly challenging times and, together, we’ve been able to continue serving those in need.

Because of your generosity, our homelessness initiative has exceeded expectations since its launch two years ago—permanently housing more than 150 individuals including families, seniors, and veterans. Earlier this month we held our second homelessness symposium, facilitating the important and necessary conversations needed to create housing solutions for our county’s unhoused community members.

United Way of Ventura County — United in compassion

by Community Contributor • December 15, 2021 • Comments Off

Earlier this month, I celebrated my seventh anniversary with United Way of Ventura County.

Since I started in 2014, our organization has navigated many changes. We moved to a new office in Ventura, took on multiple disaster response and recovery efforts, developed a program to house the homeless in our community, and now we’re helping our neighbors through the pandemic.

Through it all, we’ve remained remarkably resilient. But the source of our resilience is people like you, who care so deeply about your fellow community members. Your generosity and caring inspire us throughout the year.

It’s truly an honor to lead this incredible team, to serve those in need, and to help improve the conditions for all in community. We strive to lead with compassion and unity, rather than division. It’s the United Way.

It’s hard to believe that Thanksgiving is next week. At the UW office, we have an annual tradition of sharing our favorite pies with each other–and this afternoon, we’ll be sitting down to once again renew this tradition in person. Like many, our celebrations last year took place over Zoom. This year, I’m truly grateful that we are able to spend more time together, not only working in the office, but for special occasions like our Thanksgiving pie tradition and our Disney-themed Halloween party.

United Way of Ventura County — United for International Women’s Day

by Community Contributor • March 8, 2021 • Comments Off

Today is International Women’s Day, a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. In honor of this day, we’d like to honor the matriarch of United Way, Frances Wisebart Jacobs.

In 1887, Jacobs and other Denver faith-based community leaders put together an idea that became the nation’s first united campaign, benefitting 10 local health and welfare agencies. These leaders created an organization to collect the funds for local charities, to coordinate relief services, to counsel and refer clients to cooperating agencies, and to make emergency assistance grants for cases that could not be referred. That year, Denver raised $21,700 for this greater good and created a movement that would become United Way.

United Way of Ventura County — ‘Giving our children the smiles they deserve’ and more news

by Community Contributor • February 18, 2021 • Comments Off

February is National Children’s Dental Health month. Tooth decay is the most common chronic disease and unmet need of children in California. More than 50% of California’s kindergartners have a history of dental decay. Nearly 25% of California’s children, ages 0-11, have never been to a dentist. When children don’t get the care they need, there are costs to taxpayers and families – the cost of emergency room visits for preventable dental problems and missed school days resulting in a loss of attendance-based school district funding.

Through the Building Healthy Smiles Initiative, United Way and its partners work to reduce dental disease in Ventura County through education, care coordination, and advocacy. Our goal is to eliminate untreated tooth decay for children in Ventura County. Pre-pandemic, over 2,500 children received oral health assessments in 2019 alone.

United Way of Ventura County — United We Serve

Monday, January 18 will mark the 26th national MLK Day of Service. This holiday, honoring the service of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., is the only federal designated national day of service – “a day on, not a day off.”

While volunteering in the traditional ways might not be possible right now, I encourage you to consider a virtual volunteer opportunity to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. You can explore numerous virtual volunteer opportunities by visiting the Volunteer Ventura County website.

Although 2021 hasn’t begun in the ways we might have hoped or expected, I continue to be inspired by the resolve of our staff and volunteers to make our community a better place. Despite the tumult around us, we continue to show up to help those who need us most.

This Monday, I encourage you to reflect on the astute words of Dr. King Jr., “Life’s most persistent and urgent question, What are you doing for others?”
