ABOUT US
United Way of Greater High Point, Inc. develops community resources and partnerships that support a broad array of critical health and human service needs in our community. Resources are focused on community impact programs that promote and improve education, financial stability, and health in Greater High Point.
United Way of Greater High Point began nearly 100 years ago as the "Community Chest". Eighty people attended one of the early meetings where Mr. R.T. Amos was elected the first President of the Board of Directors, and the five original partner agencies were the American Red Cross, The Salvation Army, the YMCA, the YWCA, and the Boy Scouts. These agencies and 22 others are still supported by United Way of Greater High Point today.
Our mission is​ to develop resources and partnerships that make a measurable difference in people’s lives.
Today, the United Way of Greater High Point continues to improve existing partnerships and forge new ones to address unmet needs facing the community. Hundreds of volunteers help us raise and allocate the funding that supports them. Our community has stepped up year after year to raise more dollars than ever before. Because of their unceasing generosity, UWGHP is making a measurable difference in the lives of our neighbors.
United Way of Greater High Point is an advocate for positive change, and we hope everyone will join us in creating a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive community including High Point,
Archdale, Jamestown, and Trinity.
