As we celebrate the beauty of the North Shore, we are keenly aware that 2010 marked the largest number of people living in poverty in the half-century since poverty estimates have been tracked - 46 million people in poverty, and a most disturbing 26 million are under 18. Together, we can make a difference!
The NSUW Campaign this year, with a goal of raising $1.26 million, focuses on the core building blocks for a healthy community:
Youth & Child Development
Financial Stability
Health

We believe that when we work together, when we LIVE UNITED, we can accomplish great things and improve conditions for all on the North Shore.
Improving communities by taking on the health of local children...
We are excited about our new initiative to engage women (and men) in expanding access to healthy eating and physical activity for underserved youth and their families on the North Shore. Women in Action aims to raise $40,000 to support innovative new local programs focused on nutrition and activity for low-income families.
I hope you will participate in this year's Campaign for local children and families. We appreciate our donors, volunteers and all those that strive to maximize the potential of our communities.
Sincerely,
Margo
Margo Casey,
Executive Director
