United Way in Wood County
Welcome to United Way in Wood County!
United Way in Wood County is advancing the common good for residents by focusing community investments, collaborations, and efforts on education, income, and health; the building blocks for a good life.
We are a part of United Way of Greater Toledo and serve local Wood County residents through our Bowling Green office. With the help of local volunteers and staff, we are actively involved in community planning and needs-identification. Our volunteers even decide how United Way funds are to be distributed in the county.
