My Turn: How Rowan County United Way has helped One Love

Because of United Way’s Support: • One Love has grown into a viable and expanding mental health and substance use treatment provider. • One Love is able to provide much-needed mental health services to low-income individuals and families. • One Love is able to provide mental health and substance use services to individuals who have no insurance, Medicaid coverage or other means to pay. • One Love provides transportation to and from appointments for clients who have no reliable means of transportation. • One Love provides food assistance to clients and their families when needed. In February 2020, Rowan County United Way recognized the need to support additional mental health services in our community, based in large part on the findings of a comprehensive community Needs Assessment conducted by the Public Health Department at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. One Love Community Programs applied for funding and was approved as a Rowan County United Way Partner Agency.
