MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Helping Our Community Thrive

United Way of the Coastal Empire is here to help improve the lives of individuals and families across Bryan, Chatham, Effingham, Liberty, and Long counties. From providing essential support in times of need to opening doors for a brighter future, we’re here for you when you need us.

In the Spotlight

Honor a Woman in your World

As part of the Women Who Rule Campaign, we’re offering a heartfelt way to celebrate the incredible women who inspire you. With a donation of $100 or more to the Women United® Transportation Fund, you can honor a woman who rules in your life.

211 Day 2026

On February 11th, we recognize our 211 Information & Referral Specialists and community partners who make help possible across our community. Discover more about 211 or reach out today to get connected to the support you need.

Volunteers Supporting Literacy

On January 30, more than 1,000 volunteers across our five-county region visited classrooms to read with students, provide new books, and support local literacy efforts. Thank you to our volunteers, educators, and partners for helping inspire a love of reading.

Your Gift in Action

Life can bring unexpected challenges, and knowing where to start isn’t always easy. United Way’s Community Fund helps us provide the support people need to navigate change and take the next step. Your gift helps families and neighbors in our region get the help they need when they need it most.

Give to the Community Fund today!

Building a Vibrant
and Equitable Community

The United Way of the Coastal Empire recognizes that its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, exemplified in the collective action of its staff, its volunteers, and its partners, is an essential ingredient in fulfilling its mission to improve lives by mobilizing the caring power of our community to create a society in which all people have the opportunity to reach their full potential.​

We will be a leader in advocating for our community to be one where everyone has the resources, opportunities, and support they need to live fully.
