Join Us In Sponsoring Our 2026 Campaign!
This year’s campaign theme, Give From the Heart. Strengthen Your Community., reflects the power of local people coming together to create lasting change across Greenwood, Abbeville, McCormick, and Saluda counties. Together with the unifying message, United is the Way, the campaign represents a shared commitment to building a stronger Lakelands — one where every family has the opportunity to thrive.
When you choose to support United Way of the Lakelands, you are helping create pathways to stability, opportunity, health, and hope for our neighbors. Every gift, volunteer effort, workplace campaign, and community partnership helps strengthen the foundation of our region and move our communities forward together.
This campaign is about more than what we can accomplish today — it is about shaping a stronger tomorrow for the Lakelands through compassion, connection, and collective impact. Because when we give from the heart and stand united, real change happens.
As we continue this new chapter for United Way of the Lakelands, we are also introducing refreshed campaign materials, updated visuals, and streamlined resources designed to energize workplace campaigns and strengthen community engagement throughout the region.

What is Our United Way Annual Campaign?
At United Way of the Lakelands, our Annual Campaign brings businesses, employees, and communities together to create lasting local impact across Greenwood, Abbeville, McCormick, and Saluda counties.
Workplace campaigns make giving simple, meaningful, and powerful. Employees can support the campaign through one-time gifts or convenient payroll deduction, while organizations engage teams through kickoff events, volunteer opportunities, team challenges, and educational experiences that show how United Way is strengthening lives right here in the Lakelands.
Beyond the workplace, the Annual Campaign also includes community events and fundraising initiatives that bring people together to support local families and neighbors. From unique events and raffles to volunteer days and community partnerships, every campaign effort helps build a stronger, more connected Lakelands.
When you give from the heart, you help strengthen your community.
