We improve lives locally

Women United is an inclusive, vibrant community of change-makers bound together by a sense of belonging – to one another, to our community, and to our mission.

Message from the Co-Chairs

I have been fortunate in my life to have had many opportunities that have helped me obtain my goals.  I am grateful that I can now give others in the community, particularly our youth, the opportunities they need in order to be successful.  Women United allows me to see those success stories come to life.

Christina Grossi
Women United Co-Chair

As a Women United member, I see first hand how the On Track to Success Program makes a difference in the lives of young people in our community. I am excited to support it as a part of a long-term solution to alleviating poverty.
