RESPONSE EFFORTS

When our community faces unexpected challenges, United Way of El Paso County is here to help. Through emergency response, long-term recovery, and the Center for Resiliency, we connect individuals and families with the resources, support, and services they need to heal, recover, and move forward. Because building a stronger community means being there before, during, and long after a crisis.

VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATIONS ACTIVE IN DISASTER

United Way convenes Volunteer Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD), bringing nonprofit, government, and community partners together to coordinate disaster preparedness, response, and recovery so support reaches those who need it most.
