United Way is on a mission to make Lancaster County a thriving community for all our neighbors. To achieve this goal, we’ve created Level Up & Launch – a grant program that will invest a total of $500,000 in innovative projects that address service gaps and disparities in the community. By focusing on the three main building blocks of education, economic mobility and health & wellbeing , we aim to serve those marginalized individuals who are suffering from systemic inequities. Our Level Up & Launch grants provide not only funding for these projects, but ongoing support to the grantees to enable their success.
Women United invests in the betterment of Lancaster County women. Member contributions are invested in programs and initiatives through an annual grant process. Each year the grant focuses on a different area of United Way’s mission as it relates to women; achieve impactful change in the education, economic mobility and health of Lancaster County women.
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.
