We are excited to share this unique opportunity with you. For nearly 100 years, United Way has been serving our community, improving lives by coordinating and generating resources and services. Creating a Community Impact Center is another example of bringing value to the people of Monterey County, and a foundation for our future. Our journey started in 2018, inspired by generous legacy gifts. Thoughtful research and leadership from our Board since then has identified another way to magnify the impact that each of us has when we come together to LIVE UNITED.

United Way Monterey County is Building for the Future with the acquisition and transformation of the Community Impact Center, located in the heart of Salinas.

 

 

We consolidated our offices into one location, creating a permanent center for community benefit. We will lower our operating costs and have more opportunities to continue to meet the County’s needs efficiently. The Community Impact Center will bring our partners together to address emerging needs, leverage resources, and create innovative solutions to serve our community.

The United Way Monterey County Community Impact Center is located in the heart of Oldtown Salinas at 232 Monterey Street. The Center hosts several conference rooms and meeting spaces available to like-minded non-profit organizations operating in Monterey County. For more information about meeting space use, click here.

JOIN US FOR PHASE 2

Phase 1 of our Capital Campaign, Building for the Future, was a huge success and we proudly took ownership of the United Way Monterey County Community Impact Center on June 30, 2022. 

 We look forward to developing the  Community Impact Center to expand services for United Way and partnering nonprofits in the community.

Phase 2 of our fundraising efforts will focus on acquiring resources for the Community Impact Center, such as state of the art media equipment, computer labs, and digital access to provide additional resources to support our community.

Your gift toward this project will benefit all of Monterey County. It will provide financial stability to United Way and affiliated partners with the ultimate goal of achieving our collective mission: engage the community and focus resources to improve lives in Monterey County.

We all want Monterey County to be a place where children succeed, families are economically self-sufficient, and each of us can lead healthy, productive lives. Please join us in Building for the Future, bringing partners together to serve our community.
