2007 Community Investments
Local volunteers on Community Councils use their knowledge and experience to target funds where the needs are greatest. To make the best use of contributor dollars, United Way holds agencies accountable for their programs, Grants are typically awarded for a period of three years, with continued funding dependent on satisfactory outcome reports.

The adult dental program received funds to provide preventive and restorative dental clinic for low-income, uninsured adults in Richland and Lexington counties. In addition to filling an identified dental health gap in the community, they will assist patients in improving overall health by integrating dental care with healthcare through coordination with local health service agencies. This program should increase the awareness about the importance of routine oral health among the medically under-served population. With the number of adults who have both a medical home and dental home increasing, the program expects to deliver improvement of overall health status.
