We believe in the power of volunteerism to transform our community. United Way Volunteers come from all walks of life. They roll up their sleeves and go where their time and talent is needed most. Be on the front lines and see what a difference your support makes. Below are just a few of our volunteer’s stories.

Modeling good citizenship for her daughters through community service

"I want to be a good role model for them. Not just tell them what to do, but show them what to do."

Wendy Sciullo shares her passion about women’s leadership

“If you have limited means, volunteer to clean up a park or take women grocery shopping. There are all different ways to help one another and to make a difference.”

Patricia Kroboth promotes education and engagement

“Whether it’s supporting food insecurity, working with young people or older adults, you can make a difference with your time or money.”

Helping the community (and building her own!) through United Way

"I wanted to be a part of an organization that was making a difference, not one that was hosting events just to check off a box."

Motivated to help others and give back

"As a member of LINC, I will have the opportunity to become more involved with the United Way and give back to the community on a regular basis."

Passionate about Pittsburgh — and giving back

"I’m a loyal and proud Pittsburgher, and I like knowing there’s a fund through United Way that I can give money to and know that it will be disbursed in a way that best benefits the region."

Jennifer Kilgore is creating bridges for more women to join Women’s Leadership Council

"The good news is that United Way is an organization that everyone can be involved in. Anyone is able to fight for people that need help."

"United Way never fails to find energetic young professionals who want to better their communities. "

Kenyokee Crowell is leading the way to make the world a better place

“I wanted to try to get my organization more engaged with United Way and giving back. It was something that was personally important to me.”

Rachel Antinone finds strength in numbers

“With the WLC, you get to partner with thousands of caring women, in support of thousands of more women facing hardship."

Tocqueville Society is a force for good in the past present and future

"It makes a meaningful difference in our local community, and we appreciate that the Society permits us to participate in the United Way’s good works in a unique and more personal way"

A joy for life, a passion for serving others

"I love that they provide holistic assistance for everyone and anyone, because we all get down and out at times. I’ve been hands-on with them for years, and I really enjoy the organization."
