Keep the Change

IMPACT is a Milwaukee County non-profit organization whose mission is to change lives for good by facilitating access to assistance. Connecting people to the help they need now prevents the escalation of problems such as alcohol and other drug abuse, economic insecurity, health concerns and other personal issues.

With more than 50 years of experience in providing prevention, intervention, assessment and referral services, we help people define their problem, access immediate assistance, and develop a plan of action for long-term success. Securing and restoring the healthy, productive futures of individuals, families, schools and workplaces leads to an improved quality of life for our entire community. IMPACT’s investment in Milwaukee means that you get to keep the change.

Give. Advocate. Volunteer. LIVE UNITED

United Way; 2-1-1 @ IMPACT; Flood Response

Today is the 2010 United Way Campaign kick-off.  Your workplace may conduct a campaign; you may read articles about United Way in JSOnline; or you may see campaign billboards throughout our community encouraging you to “Give. Advocate. Volunteer. LIVE UNITED”.

There’s a reason why:  when people support the United Way of Greater Milwaukee, they’re actually supporting organizations that help our community.  In fact, a large donation from the United Way made it possible for 2-1-1 @ IMPACT to respond to nearly 11,000 community households that sustained flood damage this past July.

IMPACT is our community’s gateway to: affordable healthcare; food pantries; meal sites; utility bill payment assistance; alcohol and other drug abuse help; and many other programs that our neighbors need in this tough economy.  Supporting the United Way is one way to help them access these programs and change their lives – and our community for good.
