About United Way

United Way of Grayson County helps people overcome many of lifes challenges while focusing on barriers to succeed. While the definition of success can vary from one to the other, for many, it simply means finding a job, affordable childcare for low-income parents, literacy programs for under-educated adults, support and quality care for the disabled and senior citizens of our communities, and the list goes on.
