Education is the cornerstone of individual and community success. In Centre County our partner agencies are working to prepare our children to be ready to start school, to decrease our 11% illiteracy rate, and to provide quality educational opportunities for everyone.
Our Impact
15,658
bags of food were received.
36,027
local residents were impacted just in the last year alone.
10,750
of our neighbors in crisis accessed the community hotline.
Whether it is a neighbor without health insurance, a victim of abuse, or someone struggling with mental illness or an addiction, Centre County United Way partner agencies are working to ensure everyone has access to affordable and quality care.
Advancing the common good is less about helping one person at a time and more about changing systems to help all of us. We are all connected and interdependent. We all win when a child succeeds in school, when families are financially stable, when people are healthy.
As many as one-third of working Americans do not earn enough money to meet their basic needs. For families walking a financial tightrope, unable to save for college, a home, or retirement, United Way is here to help.
