United Way of York County

We assist working households in our community on their journey toward financial stability by collaboratively and equitably reducing barriers to prosperity. This goal is larger than one organization. It will take the community working together. 

United Way of York County has been a part of the community for over 100 years. As we step into our second century of service, we have recognized the need to evolve to better serve York County. After talking to the community and what they see as the most important issue facing our residents the answer was loud and clear- working households struggling to cover basic living expenses.

In York County, 1 in 4 households falls into this category. These are our neighbors and friends who work one, two, and sometimes three jobs and are still struggling to make ends meet. Many of these households face a support cliff- they earn too much to receive most of the government assistance but don’t make enough to cover all their bills at the end of the month. They are one financial emergency- a car breaking down, an unexpected medical emergency- away from falling into poverty.

Together, our community can help these households become financially stable.
