Our Mission The United Way of Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley will create positive change by collaborating with partners to educate and empower children and families in the Mahoning Valley.
DEAR FRIENDS: The past 14 months have, in many ways, transformed our lives and our community. Yet, in such a challenging time, the thing that gives me great hope and inspiration is how quickly everyone came together. Since United Way of Youngstown and The Mahoning Valley launched our COVID-19 response we have raised nearly $3.4 million, but even more critical is that we have impacted thousands of lives, giving them hope and comfort that there is someone who cares about them. The tremendous financial support from our community has allowed us to provide food to more than 300 families monthly who were unable to get out during the pandemic because of health issues. We also provided essentials to many who were hit the hardest, and we plan to continue this work through 2021 and beyond. Many of our volunteers who delivered the food have formed a bond with the families and check in on them during the week. We partnered with local school districts to provide more than $100,000 in grocery store gift cards to their families and children who needed it most. We established a special fund for our agencies to provide support for those doing great work during the pandemic. Organizations like Second Harvest Food Bank, Salvation Army, The Rescue Mission, and Gleaners Food Bank received additional funding above and beyond their usual allocation. We are so thankful to the thousands of donors and hundreds of volunteers who are always there for our United Way. Each gift and every volunteer hour makes a huge impact. I am very proud of our staff who has been part of this effort with all of you. All of us have a role to play in ensuring the most vulnerable are cared for and protected. We look forward to playing a major role in the recovery from the pandemic, and will we need you there every step of the way. Together, we LIVE UNITED.
