Community Involvement has been a part of the Berge Ford Family since 1944. We are proud to be a part of the community we live and work in. Currently, we are involved with the following 17 organizations:

Mesa United Way

What happens in Mesa depends on how united we are in meeting the challenges that we face as a city.  When a child or elderly person goes hungry, a neighborhood falls into disrepair, or a victim of abuse has nowhere to go, our community turns to Mesa United Way for solutions.

Our goal is to create lasting change in the lives of our community members that prevents problems from occurring in the first place.

Our sole purpose is to serve Mesa's needs.  We bring together people who want
to help, because working together is the best way to make lasting change.  Cornerstone Companies cover 100% of our fundraising and administrative costs. This allows your entire gift to go directly to meet local needs. Local volunteers evaluate those needs, and decide where your dollars will have the most impact.

We invite you to be part of changing lives by giving, advocating or volunteering through Mesa United Way.  Together we can inspire hope and create opportunities for a better tomorrow.

Working together to improve our community.  That's what it means to LIVE UNITED™.
