united way of union county

United Way Worldwide is the leadership and support organization for the network of nearly 1,800 community-based United Ways in 45 countries and territories. We envision a world where all individuals and families achieve their human potential through education, income stability and healthy lives.

Mission Statement

The United Way of Union County is a voluntary effort to increase the organized capacity of people who care for one another.

To advance the common good and mobilize the caring power of communities around the world, we will:

  • Ignite a worldwide social movement, and thereby mobilize millions to action — to give, advocate and volunteer to improve the conditions in which they live.

  • Galvanize and connect all sectors of society — individuals, businesses, non-profit organizations and governments — to create long-term social change that produces healthy, well-educated and financially-stable individuals and families.

  • Raise, invest and leverage billions of dollars annually in philanthropic contributions to create and support innovative programs and approaches to generate sustained impact in local communities.

  • Hold ourselves accountable to this cause through our steadfast commitment to continually measure — in real terms — improvements in education, income and health

  • United Way of Union County is governed by a board of local community leaders and makes decisions based on local needs and values. Last year alone, the United Way helped over 30,000 citizens in Union County.

    In 2022, local contributions helped the United Way of Union County raise more than $1.2 million for its local agencies making hundreds of programs possible in this community.
