United Way held a "Hill Day" on Tuesday, March 21  where representatives from United Ways across PA met with State Representatives, Senators, and their staff to advocate for and raise awareness around the need for 2-1-1 and information & referral services, the importance of investing in high quality Pre-K and Head Start programs, and the devastating impact a budget impasse would have on the delivery of vital social services for those living in poverty in PA.

United Way of Monroe County creates positive impact by:
  1. setting priorities based on our comprehensive community needs assessment;
  2. establishing program goals and outcomes in partnership with community agencies;
  3. raising the funds needed to help us realize our shared goals and outcomes;
  4. investing in partner agency programs that work towards our shared goals;
  5. measuring the results of those programs;
  6. supporting regular communication among everyone involved; and
  7. filling critical program gaps to ensure community goals are achieved; including advocacy, information & referral, program coordination, agency capacity building, and service promotion & awareness raising.

But none of this would be possible without the generosity of our caring community: donors, partner agencies and volunteers. Thank you for your service and your commitment to Be the Change!
