Meeting Local needs

United Way brings local ideas, people and resources together to make sure everyone-especially the most vulnerable-has the opportunity to thrive.  

I'm always amazed that United Way touches each and every one of our communities. From children to seniors to youth, to everything and anything.

- Sandra Mazo of Pawtucket, Rhode Island

We Don't Do It Alone

We partner to bring people together and create lasting change. In Latin America, our partnership with Kyndryl has brought STEM education to 2,800 students, fostering skills for future careers while also sparking interest in tech industries. 

Stories of Impact

We live where we serve, working with local leaders and residents. Together, we're using local data and local insights to create solutions tailor-made to that community's challenges. It's all rooted in United Way values and the strategies we know work, but we don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions.

Thanking America's Grocery Workers

Since the pandemic, grocery workers have become front-line heroes supporting their communities. They help make it easy to get food and household goods, and so contribute in significant ways to their community’s well-being. Last year, Kendall-Jackson and United Way partnered to launch the Grocery Worker’s Relief Fund. designed to recognize grocery workers for all they were doing. Now named the Grocery Worker’s Appreciation Fund, the fund continues to show appreciation by helping grocery workers with life’s unexpected events and urgent needs, like medical expenses and automotive repairs, in the form of $250 cash cards. #LiveUnited
