United Way of Greater Atlanta

Nearly 500,000 of Greater Atlanta’s 1.2 million children and youth live in areas of high need, where measures of child well-being are significantly lower than their neighbors’. Your neighborhood is likely within a few miles of children, youth, and families who need our support. In fact, our latest Child Well-Being Index shows that 79 neighborhoods across the Greater Atlanta region are among the most in need and also are in a state of declining child well-being, compared to just a few years ago. As a result, 77,000 children in these circumstances will either be at risk or lifted up to achieve their full potential through equitable access to health care, education, housing and healthy food.
