Who We Are

Since 1949, our local United Way has cared for people in our region. Originally established as The Washington County Community Chest, our tradition of giving continues nearly 60 years later.

We are best known for our annual appeal. The "Share at Home and Give for Good" campaign runs September through November and invites businesses and individuals to give a generous gift that keeps vital programs running throughout the year.

During the campaign, hundreds of volunteers educate donors about the need within our community and the valuable services provided as a result of their gift.

While it's acceptable for non-profits to have fundraising and administration expenses at 30%, we pride ourselves in keeping our overhead costs under 15%. This is possible thanks to the strong commitment of our volunteers.
