Get Connected with Community Connect
The Community Connect Program is your direct line to the programs and services working to better our community, resources that are accessible to us all! The Community Connect Program is regularly updated by agencies in southwest New Mexico providing essential programs and services to help improve education, health and income for families and individuals.
Get Help
It can be a frustrating experience trying to find the support and services needed to improve the quality of life for either yourself or someone you know. The United Way of Southwest New Mexico is dedicated to facilitating finding the available resources and matching those resources with the people in our community who can benefit from them. Because when one of us achieves a better life – we all achieve a better community. That’s how we LIVE UNITED.
The United Way of Southwest New Mexico is proud to host the most comprehensive program for matching individuals (and families!) in need with the programs and services available in our community.
Give Help
The United Way of Southwest New Mexico is in constant contact with area programs and agencies and the common denominator is that every organization could you a little help if you have something to give! Giving isn’t limited to cash contributions either — many programs are in need of supplies and in-kind donations too.
The Community Connect Database is searchable by the help you have to offer, whether you an give your time, gently used home items, books, canned goods … you get the idea! If you are interested additional information about the UWSWNM’s volunteer coordination efforts please visit the Volunteer Page.
