A Community of Possibilities Our mission To engage and bring together people and resources committed to the well-being of children and families in our community.
How your gifts make opportunities possible for local children and families We mobilize volunteers and partner with local leaders and organizations across our 40-town region to find solutions to some of our community’s most pressing problems. We focus on three Community Investment strategies that improve lives: Helping children and youth succeed academically and in life
Ensuring families become more financially secure
Supporting healthier lives and providing access to basic needs
We prepare youth for academic success with a focus on early childhood education, grade-level reading and transition to high school.
We connect people with good jobs and opportunities to learn how to save and grow their money.
We help individuals and families access immediate emergency assistance, such as food, shelter, and quality health-related services.
Results made possible through your gifts in 2015: Last year, nearly 5,300 volunteers were mobilized; more than 2,500 children in quality early childhood education programs gained skills needed to succeed in kindergarten; nearly 11,400 filers received $29.1 million in federal refunds and credits through Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) and MyFreeTaxes; and nearly 110,000 individuals in our 40-town region were connected to information and referrals. More results: UnitedWayInc.org/OurWork No one organization or person can do it alone. When families more than make ends meet, and children and youth succeed in school, that’s a community of possibilities. THANK YOU for joining us!
Please give, advocate and volunteer throughout the year.
