United Is the Way
At Crossroads United Way, we believe that lasting change begins with neighbors helping neighbors.
Every day, we bring together people, businesses, and organizations to strengthen our communities across Elkhart, LaGrange, Noble, and Steuben counties.
Our mission is simple yet powerful — to improve lives by mobilizing the caring power of our communities.
When we unite behind a common purpose, we create opportunities, support families, and build a brighter future for everyone who calls this region home.
Because United is the Way — the way to hope, to healing, and to a stronger tomorrow.
Our Four Pillars of Impact
Youth Opportunity
We believe every young person deserves a fair start in life.
Through programs that promote early learning, academic achievement, and mentorship, we’re helping children and youth gain the skills and confidence they need to thrive — today and in the future.
Financial Security
Everyone deserves the opportunity to achieve financial stability.
We connect families and individuals to tools, resources, and education that build stronger financial foundations — from tax preparation and budgeting to job training and workforce development.
Healthy Community
A healthy community is a strong community.
We partner with local organizations to expand access to healthcare, mental health services, and wellness programs — ensuring our neighbors can live well and feel supported at every stage of life.
Community Resiliency
When challenges arise, we rise together.
By supporting essential services, disaster response, and community-based collaboration, we help our region adapt, recover, and grow stronger — no matter what comes our way.
