United Way of Kennebec Valley unites people and resources to improve lives in our community.

The United Way of Kennebec Valley is a nonprofit organization that now serves all 29 towns in the Kennebec County. Partnering with over 45 local programs to provide a better quality of life for those in need in our community, we help people with a range of needs. We partner with programs in the areas of health, education and financial stability. By joining with others to reach these many areas, we hope to help as many people as possible.

We’re proud to celebrate the incredible individuals who make Kennebec County a stronger, more caring community.

This month’s featured Community Hero is Tom Gould from J. Prescott Inc.

For years, Tom has been a familiar and much-appreciated face at UWKV’s Day of Caring cookouts, arriving early, firing up the grill, and making sure everything is ready before volunteers even arrive. He knows each school, each cookout, and the timing and logistics that keep hundreds of meals moving smoothly—and he handles it all with an incredible attitude and a smile. He is always warm and welcoming to school staff, students, and volunteers, helping make each cookout feel fun and positive from start to finish. Tom’s reliability, experience, and genuine joy in being part of the day have made him an invaluable partner and a pleasure to have alongside us each year. We're grateful for the many years he has spent helping make Day of Caring such a success.

Please join us in celebrating Tom as a true Community Hero!

As cooler weather arrives and heating prices rise, more Maine families are facing impossible choices between keeping their homes warm and paying for food, medicine, and other essentials.

The Keep ME Warm fund—a statewide partnership of Maine's United Ways and Community Action Agencies–helps households stay safe and warm.

As the only statewide fuel assistance fundraising effort in the state of Maine, Keep ME Warm donations are used to assist individuals directly or designated to local organizations that provide emergency fuel assistance.

If you or someone you know needs help with heating services, call 211 Maine to get connected with available resources in your community.

No one should have to choose between staying warm and meeting other basic needs.
