Helping families become self-sufficient and thrive
About us
United Way helps local residents in Westchester and Putnam become self-sufficient and thrive in a stronger community. They start where people are most in need – helping people in crisis get connected to services through United Way’s 2-1-1 helpline. But they don’t stop there. They also work on root causes of poverty – working to make sure all of our children are reading proficiently at the end of third grade, a strong indicator of later success. Additionally, United Way focuses on financial stability for families by providing adults with job training so they can become employed, help with prescription drug costs and by teaching financial education so they can prepare for unanticipated expenses. Finally, United Way supports hundreds of nonprofits with $2-3 million in gifts-in-kind each year, by providing ongoing affordable professional development, and connecting nonprofits to new resources. All are welcome to join in making our local community stronger through giving, advocating and volunteering. Sign up to tutor a child, promote the 2-1-1 helpline, or join an affinity group such as the Women’s Leadership Council or Emerging Leaders Alliance.

DYK: We have one of the largest nonprofit partnerships with DoorDash, thanks to United Way Worldwide's Ride United Last Mile Delivery Initiative. This week, it was exciting to share with James Collins of United Way Worldwide and Daniel Riff of DoorDash the ins and outs of the Feeding United program that we run in partnership with Feeding Westchester and DoorDash. The program delivers fresh produce to 1000 families in Westchester who have school-aged children who qualify for free or reduced lunch.
