Who we are
OUR FOOTPRINT
Wherever people lack basic needs in southwestern Pennsylvania, United Way is there. Decisions are made by leaders on the local (and often hyper-local) level. So when you donate in your community, your money stays nearby addressing problems close to you. By coordinating efforts and sharing best practices, United Way of Southwestern Pennsylvania creates efficiencies that benefit more people throughout our region.
Our goal is to keep more people working; more families safe and healthy; more individuals of all ages and abilities in their own homes living independently; and provide major economic value for our region.
Hello, Neighbors
The communities United Way of Southwestern Pennsylvania serves are characterized by hard-working, caring people. When they struggle, it affects us all. That’s why we bring together business and community leaders, human service organizations and volunteers to solve problems and – more importantly – work to prevent these problems from occurring in the first place. Whether you’re searching for ways to lend your support or in need of assistance yourself, you’ve found the right place. This is your United Way.
