United Way of Chittenden County advances the common good by mobilizing our community to improve people’s lives.” For over 60 years, we have engaged community leaders and volunteers to take a bird’s eye view of the human care needs in Chittenden County and have helped lead the way in improving the quality of life here. We accomplish this through the following activities:
· raising millions of dollars each year through a community campaign, and investing that money in high quality programs serving the health and human service needs of children, families, and individuals throughout Chittenden County;
· investing money, staff time, and other resources to convene multi-sector collaborations with a goal toward improving the conditions and systems affecting all people in our community; and
· helping strengthen the capacity of hundreds of nonprofit agencies by recruiting thousands of volunteers for them each year
