About Us

UNITED WAY fights for the Basic Needs, Education and Financial Stability of every person in our community. By mobilizing individuals, corporate partners and the non-profit community, UNITED WAY does what none of us can do alone – provide a pivotal hand-up to those in need.

Creating this change takes volunteer leadership, expertise, commitment, proven strategies and ambitious fundraising efforts.

We all win when a child enters school ready to learn, a parent can provide for their family and our neighbors have enough to eat, a roof over their heads and access to adequate healthcare.

Our ten-town service area includes Bethlehem, Cheshire, Middlebury, Prospect, Southbury, Thomaston, Waterbury, Watertown, Wolcott and Woodbury.
