United Way of Ulster County builds a coalition of compassion to address existing and emerging needs.

United Way of Ulster County plays a unique role in our community by effectively targeting funding to high quality programs that meet identified needs. We do this by:

* Assessing community needs through periodic needs
assessments including focus groups, community
forums, key informant interviews, and individual
surveys.

* Determining what programs best address identified
needs through a rigorous and competitive grant
process that requires grantees to have measurable
objectives, a plan for program evaluation and proof
of program impact.

* Evaluating programs through in-depth interviews
with program staff, observation of programs in
action, and review of program documentation.

What a beautiful fall day filled with creativity, connection, and community! 🍂🎃❤️

A huge **THANK YOU** to everyone who joined Mentor Me of Ulster County for our Fall Festival Fundraiser! From pumpkin decorating and outdoor fun to simply spending time together, it was a wonderful reminder of how meaningful it is to create spaces where young people feel connected, supported, and celebrated.

We are so grateful to everyone who participated, donated, volunteered, and helped make the day possible.

**Every moment of connection matters, and every act of generosity helps Mentor Me continue creating opportunities for Ulster County’s youth to learn, grow, and thrive.**

Thank you for being part of a community that shows up for our young people! 💙💚

We don't always know what someone else is carrying.

The coworker who seems quieter than usual.
The parent trying to hold everything together.
The teenager who says they're “fine.”
The neighbor we haven't seen in a while.
Or even the person who appears to have everything under control.

Mental health doesn't always look like a crisis. And asking for help shouldn't require reaching one.

On World Mental Health Day, we're reminding our community to check in with one another, make room for honest conversations, and remember that needing support is part of being human.

And when someone says, “I need help, but I don't know where to start,” there is somewhere to turn.

💙 Dial 2-1-1 to connect with mental health resources and other community supports in your area.

Sometimes one conversation is the beginning of getting connected to the right help.

🏠 Homelessness prevention starts long before someone loses their home.

On World Homeless Day, we're shining a light on a reality facing too many of our neighbors in Ulster County: the growing challenge of keeping a roof over their heads.

Last year, through United Way of Ulster County's emergency assistance efforts:

💙 351 households received help with emergency housing costs.

💙 122 households were facing eviction.

Behind every number is a person, a family, or a household navigating an incredibly difficult moment. Sometimes, the difference between stability and homelessness is one unexpected expense, a missed paycheck, or a temporary crisis.

That's why our work through the HELPS Program (Housing Emergency, Livelihood Protection & Stability) is so important. By providing emergency financial assistance, we help neighbors address urgent needs before a temporary hardship becomes a lasting crisis.

But preventing homelessness takes more than emergency assistance. It takes affordable housing, accessible resources, strong community partnerships, and a shared commitment to helping people remain safe and stable.

Because having a place to call home shouldn't depend on whether life goes exactly as planned.

Today, we recognize the organizations, advocates, and community partners working every day to prevent homelessness and support those experiencing housing insecurity.

Together, we can help more neighbors find stability, dignity, and hope. ❤️

United is the Way.

💙 It’s OK to ask for help.

On World Mental Health Day, we want our community to know that you don't have to already know where to turn in order to take the first step.

Sometimes the hardest part of asking for help is figuring out where to begin.

Start with 2-1-1.

By dialing 2-1-1, you can connect with a real person who can help identify mental health resources and other supports available in your area — because challenges rarely happen in isolation, and neither should the solutions.

Whether you're looking for support for yourself, worried about someone you love, or simply don't know which resource is the right one, reaching out is a start.

You don't have to have all the answers. You just have to know where to begin. 💙

✨ Field + Supply Fall MRKT starts TODAY — and our Community Quilt has officially returned to where it all began! 🧵❤️

One year ago, Field + Supply guests helped us create the individual squares that would become our UNITED IN CARE Community Quilt. Today, the finished quilt is back on display at Field + Supply — and its auction is LIVE!

This one-of-a-kind quilt was created by community, stitched together in community, and is now being auctioned to give back to community.

Even better, Field + Supply will match the auction proceeds up to $1,500, multiplying the impact of the winning bid.

So if you're heading to Field + Supply Fall MRKT, October 9–11, come see the finished quilt in person, take a closer look at the words and artwork contributed by our community, and experience everything the weekend has to offer.

And whether you're joining us at the MRKT or cheering us on from afar, you can be part of the quilt's next chapter.

✨ The auction is LIVE — visit the link in our bio to bid!

Because when each of us contributes a piece, we can create something extraordinary.
United is the Way. ❤️

Why UNITED IN CARE?

Because behind every statistic about housing, food, financial hardship, children, health, or emergency assistance is a person.

A neighbor. A parent. A child. A coworker. A family.

And while the needs facing our community are real, so is its capacity to care.
That's what we wanted this quilt to capture.

Different hands created different squares. Someone else brought those pieces together. Field + Supply gave us a place to share it. And now one more person will carry its story forward.

That is what UNITED means to us.

The Community Quilt auction is LIVE, with proceeds supporting United Way of Ulster County and our work throughout the community.

✨ Link in bio to bid.
