Our Mission:

To measurably improve the quality of people's lives in Cumberland County

United Way knows that people like you really want to make a difference in your community. You want to help others and we want to be your partner.

Our experience tells us that the best way to help the most people is to focus on the root causes of the most serious problems. It takes the whole community working together to pull it off.

So we bring together people from all across the region to tackle the issues that matter most. United Way is focused on the bottom line results: improving lives and shaping a caring community.

United Way’s Mission is improving lives by mobilizing the caring power of community.

We achieve that mission by investing for community impact. Impact means achieving sustained change in community conditions.
