Hamilton
Over the 2023-2024 Funding Cycle, Butler County United Way allocated more than $70,000 directly to programs exclusively serving the Hamilton community, in addition to the $489,124 Hamilton received through funding of county-wide programming.
As a community partner to Hamilton Living Water Ministry, we were able to serve 200 children in the Hamilton City School District through the Children and Youth After School/Summer Program. Over the last ten years, 92.75% of the students served in this program have progressed onto the next grade level.
Together, we were also able to provide more than 1,000 boxes of food to Linden and Highland Elementary in Hamilton over the summer through Butler County Educational Service Center's The Compassion Project.
We were also able to help 241 people in Hamilton stay in their homes through SELF's (Supports to Encourage Low Income Families) Neighbors Who Care: Home Repair program.
