Thanks to the support of community partners and volunteers, United Way of Santa Barbara County serves thousands of local community members each year. Through academic programs like Fun in the Sun, financial empowerment initiatives like the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program, and its ongoing work in crisis response and recovery, United Way works to build a more resilient Santa Barbara County. In 2023, United Way served over 600 local students with individualized academic services, 3,600 filers with free tax preparation assistance, and completed its three-year COVID-19 response effort, serving over 9,000 families with nearly $42M in essential relief for emergency rent, utility, and relocation needs.
