The Learning Center for Families

United Way funds these programs:

Our weekly home visiting services for the Early Intervention and Early Head Start programs that provides parenting education to enhance the individual development and health of each infant and toddler.

$60,000

Total UW funding

$60,000

100% of United Way goes towards direct services for children and families.

We work with these United Way Agency partners:

  • Southwest Utah Community Health Center
    Prenatal and well baby programs
  • Dixie Care & Share
    Food bank and temporary housing programs
  • The Erin Kimball Memorial Foundation
    Support for displaced abused women and children
  • Big Brothers/Big Sisters
    Mentoring program
  • Doctors' Free Clinic
    Health, mental health and dental clinics
  • Red Rock Center for Independence
    Equipment and support for families with disabled members

Without United Way Funding, a homeless, teen mother would struggle to raise her child on her own. A toddler with autism would slip into their own unreachable world.

Human needs in Washington County:

  • Parents in crisis with young children need parenting assistance to ensure that their child reaches her fullest potential.

  • Families with infants/toddlers with disabilities need family support, therapeutic instruction and each other to help their child reach his fullest potential.

  • Children need to be "kindergarten ready" by the time they reach age five.
