Whether you are located in Connecticut or throughout the US, we can offer our communities support to
improve health, income and education.

Here are three ways to participate—

Donate. Make your voluntary donations through this convenient access tool. You can designate
a one-time contribution or choose payroll deduction.

Volunteer. We hope that teams will volunteer in our own Days of Caring the week of Nov. 8. You
can read to schoolchildren through New Haven Reads or help winterize one of 45 community
gardens to help people grow their own nutritious food.

Participate. Look for the Connecticut events scheduled throughout Nov. to raise funds for
Get Fit Kits and other United Way programs. This is our opportunity to have fun and make a
difference in our communities at the same time!

   

EDUCATION. INCOME. HEALTH.

We envision a world where all individuals and families achieve their human potential through education, income stability and healthy lives... Learn more ».
