Over the past 28 years, UPS has donated an incredible $1 billion to improve lives and communities in partnership with United Way. Join us in thanking UPS, its employees and retirees for their generosity and ongoing commitment to creating opportunities for a better life for all. 

A new spirit of cooperation among area social service organizations and other nonprofits – combined with a need to save money – has resulted in an increase in shared office arrangements throughout the region.

United Way of Greater New Haven and the Jewish Federation of Greater New Haven will share offices at 705 Boston Post Road in Guilford, the new Lighthouse Square complex. The move follows the April 1 relocation of United Way’s downtown headquarters from Orange Street into space at the 900 Chapel St., New Haven headquarters of the Greater New Haven Chamber of Commerce.

 United Way of Greater New Haven is collaborating with the Harwood Institute to accelerate our efforts to create results in education. Harwood is United Way’ World Wide's signature partner for both their education mobilization groups and The Campaign for the Common Good.

There are some tremendous examples of what The Harwood Institute has done for other large national organizations like the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. If we can replicate what they have done for them at some level then we will be in really good shape.

The United Way Community Impact Cabinet met on May 17, 2010 at our new offices at 900 Chapel Street to move through a full agenda of community change efforts.  The volunteers reviewed the recently made Neighbor-to-Neighbor LifeLine investments, and discussed the information learned from the initiative to better understand the challenges and strengths facing our region.  The bottom line: what did we learn from this fundraising, investment, and volunteer effort that will make our work and this community stronger?

United Way of Greater New Haven and the Jewish Federation of Greater New Haven would like to thank all who supported and attended Eli’s on the Hill for a special Happy Hour to benefit the Neighbor-to-Neighbor Lifeline (N2N).  Special thanks to Eli’s on the Hill in Branford, CT for their generosity in donating all the food and cocktails. Also, thank you to Steve Glick, Founder of Chamber Insurance Trust, who through his Chamber-to-Chamber efforts supported the event. Together, with their leadership and the support of the community, we raised $450 in critical funds for emergency needs in the Greater New Haven region and increased awareness of the increased demand of affordable shelter, food and utility assistance in our local community.

Volunteers are transforming disadvantaged students' lives and their own health and well-being, according to the ever increasing research that highlights the extraordinary impacts of the Experience Corps program. 

Chip's Family Restaurant in Orange donated 50% of their proceeds from 3-9pm on March 23rd to benefit the Neighbor-to-Neighbor Lifeline effort that meets food, shelter and one-time emergency relief needs in the Greater New Haven area. The Chamber-to-Chamber initiative presented this fundraiser and was supported by Chamber Insurance Trust (CIT) of Orange.

United Way of Greater New Haven, New Haven Public Schools and The City of New Haven created Boost! to ensure that every young person has the support and services he or she needs to succeed.  The Boost! partnership will design and manage coordinated “wraparound” services in New Haven schools.

New Haven Register published an article on February 6, 2010 about the Neighbor-to-Neighbor LifeLine 2010 launch.

United Way of Greater New Haven and the Jewish Federation have launched their 2010 Neighbor-to-Neighbor LifeLine fundraising drive, and hope area residents will dig deep into their imaginations to help raise funds.
