GIVE TODAY-BECAUSE TOGETHER, WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE THAT LASTS.

For over a century, United Way of Erie County has stood beside our neighbors, lifting up those who need it most. Together, we’ve supported critical programs for children, families, and seniors-from hot meals and mentorship to emergency relief and recovery. Last year alone, we helped fund 17 organizations making life-changing impacts right here at home.

But there’s so much more we can do.

This year, with your help, we plan to bring new, direct services to Erie County-programs like Ride United for transportation, free tax preparation for hardworking families, and essential support for those on limited incomes. Your gift will go directly toward creating a safer, healthier, and more vibrant community for all.

Every dollar counts. Together, we can meet our $250,000 goal and fuel the change Erie County deserves.
