CIS provides a link between communities and schools that helps give resources and support to students to help them stay in school and succeed.

United Way directly funds 63 health and human service programs that help strengthen children and families, improve community health and increase financial independence. The 2008 countywide campaign will kick off in September and continue through the end of the year.
