United Community Calls for Racial Equity

At United Community, our mission is to empower our neighbors in need to transform their lives. We aspire to end multi-generational poverty. In our community, racial and social inequity continue to be the greatest obstacles to both.

​As the lead social services agency in Alexandria-Fairfax,
we stand united with the Black community
and all others who have been kept from their dreams
because of racial and social inequity.
