Lubbock Area United Way is a part of United Ways of Texas. UWT focuses on systems change through policy and advocacy. During the Legislative Session, UWT brings the United Way voice to the Texas Capitol through public policy and advocacy efforts. Likewise, UWT actively works with members during the interim to ensure their voices help inform lawmakers as well as the policy priorities of the next legislative session.
