Now, thousands more are struggling to meet their basic needs for food, shelter and health care. <\/p>\n<p>This is in addition to the social injustices our neighbors face every day in communities across the metro. These injustices continue to have profound impacts on people&#8217;s lives. Without access to equal opportunities, it can be difficult for our neighbors to meet their basic needs or grow and thrive.<br \/>\n<P>The United Way of the Midlands recognizes it&#8217;s hard for just one person, one company or one nonprofit to tackle the challenges our neighbors are facing alone. That&#8217;s why they tackle these challenges in a specific way &#8212; a &#8220;united&#8221; way. They aim to respond to the rapidly evolving situation caused by COVID-19 and to maintain their long-standing commitment to addressing social injustice by serving the underserved.<br \/>\n<P>Donations to the United Way are invested in basic needs, education and financial stability programs at local nonprofits. Together, these programs form a circle of support for our neighbors so they can tackle multiple challenges at once and regain stability during difficult times. <\/p>\n<p><a
