Mission: United Way of Westchester and Putnam is dedicated to improving the lives of 40% of our neighbors who live in poverty or paycheck to paycheck, often hardworking families struggling to make ends meet. United Way provides strategic resources and tools to help financially struggling residents lead a better, more stable life, including our 211 helpline operating 24/7 across the lower Hudson Valley, early literacy programming for preschoolers in underserved communities, job skills training and financial empowerment for financially struggling adults and families, as well as access to health services and discounts on prescription drugs. United Way supports hundreds of local nonprofits with $2-3 million in essential goods for basic needs annually, provides affordable professional development, and connects nonprofits to new resources. We partner with corporations, nonprofits, schools, and governments to further our impact by leveraging our collective strengths against the strongholds of poverty. (Less)
