United Way of Lancaster County empowers struggling individuals and families, as well as the organizations that serve them. We support our neighbors below the ALICE threshold, those struggling to afford basic needs, through our direct service programs, by amplifying the vital work of other local nonprofits, and convening expertise and resources to help where it’s needed the most.
