About The United Way of Lapeer County

United Way of Lapeer County
is Your United Way

United Way of Lapeer County was founded in 1927 as the Red Feather Fund by a group of local citizens. Over the years, this community organization has had many civic leaders guiding it and has gone by several names such as the United Fund and Community Chest. In the mid 1960s the Lapeer United Fund merged with the Flint United Fund to become the United Way of Genesee and Lapeer Counties. That relationship continued until July of 2000, when the Lapeer community grew large enough to support it's own organization, and United Way of Lapeer County was born.

Throughout it's history, United Way has helped to create solutions to community problems, funding results you can see. United Way of Lapeer County has improved more lives in Almont, Columbiaville, Dryden, Imlay City, Lapeer, North Branch and every corner of our community than any other human service agency. Two out of three people in our community will receive services from a United Way funded program at some time in their lives.

United Way of Lapeer County is a community solutions leader-uniting our community to measurably improve people's lives and build the most vital caring community in America.
