The Organization:


At the United Way we believe that WE ARE STRONGER TOGETHER and that it is only by being UNITED that we can change the world for the better. 


In Westchester and Putnam more than 40 percent of households are living in poverty or paycheck to paycheck, what we call ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed). These are often hardworking families struggling to make ends meet and provide a better life for their children. But for these families, when funds run short, they are forced to make impossible choices between childcare or paying the rent… filling a prescription or fixing a car. They are our preschool teachers, home health aides and retail salespeople – workers essential to keeping all our communities and economies humming, yet who struggle to pay their own basic bills.


We achieve results in three ways: first, by investing dollars or essential goods in programs with proven results. Second, we also provide direct services to our community (through our 211 Helpline, Education United Afterschool Program, and so much more). Finally, we foster collaborations with community stakeholders, leaders, and partners to change the way we look at and solve problems.


We collaborate with hundreds of nonprofit partners and governmental agencies, and our work positively impacts hundreds of thousands of individuals every year.
