Summer Concert Series

United Way of Greater Williamsburg is partnering with James City County to bring you the Fourth Friday Summer Concert Series at Jamestown Beach Event Park! Join us on June 24, July 22, and August 26 to rock out on the James. Cost is $20 per car. Beer and refreshments will be available on site for purchase and all proceeds from beer sales will benefit the United Way Home for Good program. Learn more about Fourth Fridays at Jamestown Beach Event Park.

Community Resource Center

The United Way Community Resource Center (CRC) remains open throughout the summer months to serve our friends and neighbors in need. While summer may be a time for vacation and holiday fun for some, many in our community struggle with providing for their family and keeping up with electric bills during the hot summer months. The Community Resource Center seeks volunteers, donations of fans, water, cleaning supplies, and financial support. For more information on how to volunteer contact Charvalla West at 757-229-2222. Learn more about the Community Resource Center.

Day of Caring

United Way of Greater Williamsburg is planning for its annual Day of Caring on Friday, September 16! Day of Caring may be 3 months away but it's not too soon to start gathering your team of volunteers. In 2015, nearly 600 volunteers completed more than 40 projects at local non-profits and human service organizations. Learn more about Day of Caring.
