United Way of Tucson and Southern Arizona is joining with our nonprofit partners, local foundations, businesses, media and educational organizations to launch United for Southern Arizona COVID-19 Fund to help those who need it most survive during this crisis.

Never has the need been greater for the most vulnerable people in our community. The children, families, and older people who are laid-off, unemployed, low-income, homeless, underinsured, and struggling to make ends meet are now facing even more hardship.

Your gift to this fund, will quickly support a child, family, or older person with what is essential right now. With our non-profit partners, United Way will deliver emergency services and resources for individuals and families. Assistance and support will include:

Food access and baby formula
Diapers and essential health supplies
