Community Vitality

UniSource is dedicated to being a good neighbor and assisting our most vulnerable residents: struggling working families, seniors, those with disabilities, teens, and young children.

Our support provides hot meals to low-income families, helps victims of domestic violence and child abuse, and addresses homelessness by ensuring residents have safe and energy-efficient housing.

By addressing these needs, we’re giving residents new opportunities for a better life while creating stronger, healthier, and more vibrant communities.

Agencies Supported

UniSource supports dozens of nonprofit agencies and groups throughout Coconino, Mohave, Navajo, Santa Cruz, and Yavapai Counties. These are just a few of the nonprofit groups benefiting from our financial contributions and volunteer support:
