BUILDING BLOCK EVENTS

Join us for our Building Block Events

Building Block events are Butler County United Way's method of joining together with our neighbors throughout Butler County to give back in a way that will build a solid foundation for the future. Each Building Block Event is tailored to one of the building blocks for a good life: Health, Income Stability/Basic Needs, or Education.

To view all of our volunteer events, please visit our Volunteer page

All big things start out small. Join us in being the cornerstone of big change!

STORIES OF IMPACT

Sheila

Sheila, a 44-year-old single mother of four, is no stranger to navigating adversity. Ten years ago, after going into labor early with her twin boys, she had to learn to navigate things a little differently than before. After giving birth to her sons, Sheila was rushed into brain surgery due to fluid on her brain pushing on her optic nerve.

Tonya

About 7 years ago, Tonya made the brave decision to leave a domestic violence situation for the sake of her and her daughter. Leaving the situation was a courageous choice, but Tonya went a step further and left her home and community for her and her daughter’s safety.

Sherry

Sherry was at the end of her rope after years of trying to combat the problem behavior of her school aged son. Her therapist recommended trying a parenting course offered through Butler County United Way’s Parent Project....

E.J

E.J. first entered the foster care system 5 years ago at 10 years old, and the uncertainty of his circumstances weighed heavily on him. Not having a stable support system and family in his life during such a formative time left him feeling vulnerable and scared.
