”United Way of Lancaster County works hard to provide an equitable, diverse and culturally respectful workplace that is welcoming to everyone and where we can all learn and support each other and the community.”
“Since April 2020, One United Lancaster has been providing “truth with context” in Lancaster County, publishing nearly 2,500 posts covering local nonprofits, government, health and social concerns. This past June, we unveiled a new brand identity and an updated, more user-friendly website. We look forward to continuing to build our audience with reliable reporting on the issues that affect the wellbeing of our community.”
“Get Connected. Get Help. – Never have those words, our tagline, meant more to us. The breadth of needs continue to increase as individuals try their best to navigate their new normal during a pandemic. Individuals not needing to seek services before reached out for help, and thankfully, United Way’s investment in 211 allowed us to continue to respond, with compassion and empathy, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.”
“For many years United Way has been able to support many initiatives and leverage those investments to have a major impact in our community. We are so thankful for this community that jumps to help their neighbors when they need it the most by supporting these initiatives, programs and partnerships.”
“United Way of Lancaster County hosts events to bring the community together to celebrate wins, fundraise and raise awareness of the gaps within the Lancaster community. We hope that in doing so, we are able to reach new audiences and improve the lives of our neighbors.”
“I am honored to be part of United Way of Lancaster County, who is the preeminent link to social services and community assistance in Lancaster County. UWLC runs the special VITA Service providing free tax services to Low Income Lancaster County households. This service ensures Lancaster county residents get timely, IRS certified services, to ensure timely tax filing for our county residents that qualify.”
“We were isolated during the Covid-19 Pandemic – disconnected from everything outside of our four walls. Now, as we start to rebuild relationships and patch the foundations of our community, our strength has been renewed. Community initiatives are experiencing a renaissance where their mission and vision are either being reinstated or reimagined altogether.”
“United Way of Lancaster County is working hard to expand partnerships and leverage resources through grants that benefit our community.”
“During the 2021-2022 campaign Women United was proud to invest $60,000 in women’s education and select Patients R Waiting and YWCA as the next round of grantees for the 2022-2023 campaign. Looking forward, we always welcome new members who are interested in serving on a committee to assist in planning events or review grant applications.”
“For nearly one hundred years, generations of Lancastrians have supported United Way through a workplace campaign at their employer. Giving back to help neighbors, friends and family is easy through a payroll deduction pledge and our online giving platform streamlines the process for everyone. We are so grateful for the hundreds of local businesses and organizations that conduct workplace giving campaigns each year. From small businesses to large corporations, employee gifts and corporate donations make a significant impact on tens of thousands of people who need our help.”
“My vision is to create an inclusive and equitable community where every individual irrespective of their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status has an opportunity to succeed, because that’s the only way entire community will thrive and prosper.”
