You may have seen it on a poster or the back of a bus or on the t-shirt of that guy walking down the street. LIVE UNITED. What does it mean to LIVE UNITED? Does it mean to live in harmony? Is it about uniting for a cause? Is it an invitation or a state of mind? The answer is yes. It’s all of that.
It is about considering the condition of others and doing something to help everyone have the opportunity for a good life. Each of us wants to create a better life for our neighbors. Each of us wants to see our community thriving. It takes everyone in the community, working together to create a brighter future.
Each and every person – regardless of what role they play – is significant in making Pierce County a better place to live. And together, we can accomplish more than any single group can on its own. Each of us plays a part. We are all united in this effort to change lives.
LIVE UNITED is an invitation for everyone to be part of the change.
Many of us are already LIVING UNITED. Whether you donate through your workplace campaign, lend your voice to the issues you care about the most or contribute your time through your church…in your child’s classroom…in the community.
You GIVE. You ADVOCATE. You VOLUNTEER.
You LIVE UNITED.
Making a difference in our community is less about helping one person at a time and more about changing systems to help all of us. It’s the idea that we are all connected and interdependent. It’s the idea that we all win when a child is ready to learn and succeeds in school …when families are financially stable…and when people are healthy.
Together, united, we can inspire hope and create opportunities for a better tomorrow.
That’s what it means to LIVE UNITED.
WE WANT TO KNOW…How do you define LIVE UNITED?

WE WANT TO KNOW…How do you define LIVE UNITED?
To LIVE UNITED means to shift my focus from "me" to "we". It's about living in intentional community with the people around me and making a conscious decision to leave this world better off than I found it. Whether it's volunteering my time with a local women's support center, participating in a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), speaking up for a cause, or making a monetary donation to an organization I believe in, I know that my efforts, combined with the efforts of others, are making a positive impact. That's how I LIVE UNITED.
