The Rotary-United Way Summer Youth Experience Grant is a partnership with the United Way of Lancaster that provides support for nonprofits that offer summer learning opportunities for youth ages 5-17 in our community.
Since 2006, this grant has allowed nonprofits to offer quality educational programs that focus on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) as well as social-emotional development.
Food and Shelter Fund
United Way of Lancaster County has launched the Food & Shelter Fund, a locally driven initiative created to continue this essential aid work. The fund supports grants to organizations across the county that provide food, emergency shelter, and housing services, helping ensure that our most vulnerable neighbors continue to receive the care and stability they need. As needs in our community evolve, the Food & Shelter Fund remains responsive and flexible, allowing United Way and its partners to direct resources where they are needed most.
