Women United of United Way of Lake County
Communities need champions who understand issues facing women, girls, and children, see their potential and offer solutions to make a difference.

We believe that when a network of caring, powerful women get together to drive change, anything is possible.

About Us - Mobilizing the Power and Strength of Women
The concept of WU is based on the recognition of women as a powerful philanthropic force. The council is grounded in the idea that addressing the most critical needs of Lake County women and girls lifts the community as a whole and creates a better life for us all. Members stand up, unite and take action on issues that hit closest to home by advocating, educating, giving and volunteering.
WU is a dynamic group of women who ignite positive change and impact community - particularly in the areas of education, income and health. Our goal is to continue to grow in diversity to represent a variety of ages, ethnic backgrounds, professions and interests with the shared belief in the work of the WU.
Please join us today and help us realize this goal.
Our Work
The women who serve on United Way of Lake County's Women United are impressive, but what really sets this group apart is the freedom members have to invest their time, professional expertise and talent to advance the causes of girls and women in Lake County they feel passionate about.
As a member, the amount of time you have to invest is up to you. Some members serve on committees, some volunteer for heartwarming causes and others join simply to advocate on our behalf while enjoying social events and the friendship of other members. Whatever your interest level, there is nothing like the "feel good" moments our members get knowing their involvment is positively impacting the lives of other girls and women in need here in Lake County.
