State of the Community Address

On January 23, Arlene Kaukus delivered United Way of Buffalo & Erie County's first-ever State of the Community address, which described community conditions in Erie County and discussed United Way's work in response.  The central question posed by the address was this: given what we know about what our community is facing, will we accept the challenge to work together to create change?

Video of the address is posted in 4 parts below.  Also posted is a short video presentation about the impact of Closing the Gap in Student Performance, our initiative that links kids and their families with services in 6 Buffalo Public Schools.
