At United Way of Northern New York, we’re all about creating brighter tomorrows. But what does that really mean? How do we take your generosity and transform it into meaningful change for individuals and families across Jefferson, Lewis, and St. Lawrence Counties?
We’re excited to share a short video, produced by our friends at NBC Watertown, that beautifully captures the heart of what we do. From feeding seniors to supporting working families and helping children thrive, this video showcases the power of community and the impact of your support.
In just 90 seconds, you will see how United Way connects people to resources, builds partnerships that strengthen our region, and ensures that everyone has the opportunity to succeed.
Here’s a Snapshot of What We Accomplish Together:
- 32,000 lives impacted annually, including 10,400 children.
- Support for ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) families working hard to make ends meet.
- Access to vital programs, such as after-school care for children, transportation assistance, meals for homebound seniors, food and critical supplies for those in need, mental health services, and crisis intervention.
- Connections to vital resources through the 211 Referral Network.
- Increased awareness and understanding of generational poverty through Bridges out of Poverty and related workshops.
- Professional development and networking opportunities for nonprofit professionals.
This is more than just a story about us—it’s about you, our donors, volunteers, and partners. Your involvement makes everything possible.
We invite you to watch the video, share it with your network, and join us in making a difference. Together, we can continue to be United for a Better Tomorrow.
