Communities We Serve

United Way works with local government, businesses, non-profits, faith-based groups and residents to help the condition of the community.

Community Councils, a United Way movement launched in 2007, helped to start community coversations. The councils, in various towns throughout the county, are made up of community residents that lend their support United Way's annual campaign, help to organize community volunteer projects, host annual fundraisers and work with local non-profits to create opportunities for those in need.

Towns listed below with an asterik currently have active Community Council meetings and events. Would you like to make a difference in your community?  Click
