United Way of the Concho Valley

Mission: Improving lives in the Concho Valley by leading and uniting community resources. United Way of the Concho Valley fights for the health, education, and financial stability of all individuals in the 14 counties of the Concho Valley. We work to identify important issues in our community and collaborate with our partners, other non-profit organizations, policymakers, businesses, and people like you, to develop solutions and resources to not only deliver hope but bring lasting change.

In 2025, the Concho Valley stands at the threshold of history, celebrating 100 years of resilience, community, and connection. As the centennial unfolds, a bold vision is taking root-one that redefines what it means to give, to support, and to believe in something bigger than ourselves. This is United Way: a movement of 1,000 people, each committing to donate $100, not to a corporation or committee, but to community-driven change.

The centennial isn't just a celebration of what was-it's a call to shape what comes next. Simple math, yes. But powerful when seen through a different lens. That's $100,000 raised-not from major donors or corporations, but from everyday folks. Teachers, small business owners, students, retirees. People who might not always think of themselves as "philanthropists," but who believe in the shared promise of the next 100 years.

It's not just a fundraiser. It's a statement: that real power lies not in a few giving a lot, but in many giving what they can.

Testimonials

"I grew up in Bentwood Country Club and my dad was very big in the town. I had everything I could have ever wanted. I started running with the wrong crowd, and that's where it all started. My life spun out of control and everything I had went to dope." Sandy used a multitude of substances throughout these years. She described her addiction as a binge situation and didn't know the stopping point. Sandy credits her recovery to the skills she developed through ADACCV recovery programs. - Sandy is a San Angelo native and her success story began when she was offered the opportunity to go to Sarah's House, a recovery center through the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Council for the Concho Valley (ADACCV)
