Mission: Our Mission: To Eradicate Poverty in Southeast Louisiana. For close to 100 years, United Way of Southeast Louisiana has been on the front lines of community problems, both everyday problems and crises, across our seven-parish service area. Our work is laser-focused on eradicating poverty locally by supporting ALICE households to ensure they are able to afford basic needs - like housing, food, transportation, child care, and health care - and save for an emergency. And we have a plan to get it done together. Our Blueprint for Prosperity gives us a roadmap today as we lead immediate COVID-19 relief efforts and shift toward long-term recovery to stabilize and strengthen our community. (Less)
