Community Initiatives
Prescription Drug Savings
We know from experience that families living on the edge never struggle with just one issue; it’s the combination of several problems piling up that prevents families from finding stability and truly thriving.
At Lake Area United Way, we partner with SingleCare: Formerly FamilyWize to increase families' Health and Financial Stability in our communities. Through their prescription savings card, SingleCare makes prescription medications more affordable for all families, so that no one ever has to make the hard choice between the meds they need and other basics like food or rent.
2-1-1
2-1-1 is a referral and information helpline and website that connects people from all communities and ages to the essential health and human services they need, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You'll be connected to a community resource specialist who can connect you with local organizations that provide critical services that can improve and save lives.
