Women across the region will gather for a spring-themed luncheon to celebrate and raise funds for local foster youth at United Way’s 17th Annual Women United Luncheon at the Sheraton Grand. The event will feature a heartfelt program that celebrates planting seeds of change and will include personal stories from foster youth, successes from United Way’s programs, and a fashion show with local foster youth.

For nearly 100 years, United Way California Capital Region has brought local people together to make community change happen. Today, the nonprofit is bringing people together across Amador, El Dorado, Sacramento, Placer, and Yolo counties for its Square One Project, a 20-year promise to significantly increase the number of students in this region who graduate from high school ready for success in college and beyond. United Way believes ending generational poverty starts in school and is working to ensure kids meet important milestones and their families receive support and resources.
