News and Events
The mission of the United Way of Washington County-East is to unite our communities and local resources to give each person the chance to build a better life. We work collaboratively to Promote Thriving Children and Youth, Provide Basic Needs and Promote Financial Stability, and Improve Health and Independence, and Support Self-Sufficiency and Connection to Services-right here in the heart of Washington County. As an independent, nonprofit organization, we are overseen by a local board of directors and fueled by hundreds of other volunteers who serve our community and participate in funding decisions.
