United Way of Dickinson strengthens daily life across the region by funding practical programs that help families stabilize and thrive. Core supports include Project HERO for basic needs, Free Through Recovery and Community Connect for case management and reentry, Kicks for Kids for school readiness, Imagination Library and Born Learning for early childhood development, as well as food pantry partnerships and a comprehensive list of community resources.

Within this network, the Emergency Eye Glass Program connects eligible residents to local eye exams and basic frames and lenses through referrals from partner agencies. The steps are simple. Contact a listed partner for a referral, bring the required documents, and schedule the exam so you can return to work, school, and safe driving with clear vision.

If you need additional help, call 211 to find nearby services for food, housing, and health while your application is being processed.
