About Us

United Way of Tulare County fights for the health, education, and financial stability of every person in every Tulare County community.

Prior to being a United Way in 1985, the organization was known as the Community Aid Chest. Throughout the years, the organization has always supported non-profit development, planning, and funding. In addition, United Way of Tulare County has various programs such as our 211 Information and Referral Call Center, where anyone can call, text, or visit the website (www.211tularecounty.org) for resources. Our College Access Initiative’s primary focus is to help students and their families navigate education and how to continue their education after high school. We provide tools for technical, certificated, 2-year and 4-year education programs along with financial aid and scholarship information. We are also proud to work closely with the County of Tulare in disaster response. We actively participate in providing assistance to those affected by drought, fire, flood, etc.
