The last two days were spent in Bethlehem at the first ever Northeast Regional Conference for the United Way. We were joined by 87 other United Ways.

There were so many great conversations and ideas shared, and we can’t wait to bring them back to our Valley!

We’re proud to celebrate a local father who recently achieved an important milestone—completing the 24:7 Dad® Program 👏

Over 12 weeks, he showed up consistently, committed to growth, and put in the work to strengthen his role as a parent. Through the program, he built new parenting skills, gained confidence, and deepened his ability to be present, patient, and engaged with his children 💙

This accomplishment reflects dedication, perseverance, and a real investment in his family’s future—and we’re honored to recognize that effort 🌟

The 24:7 Dad® Program is just one of the many supportive offerings provided through SVUW Family Services, all designed to help families grow stronger, build skills, and create lasting connections.

Today, Susquehanna Valley United Way brought together the people and organizations working every day to strengthen our region. 💙

Hosted at CSIU, our Funded Partner Meeting welcomed many of our 56 funded partners for a meaningful time of connection, collaboration, and conversation centered around our Impact Pillars: Healthy Community, Youth Opportunity, Financial Security, and Community Resiliency.

Together, we discussed some of the biggest challenges facing our communities — including transportation, childcare, housing instability, food insecurity, and other barriers impacting local families and individuals. More importantly, it was a chance for the “doers” in our community to come together, share ideas, support one another, and continue building partnerships that lead to real solutions.

Susquehanna Valley United Way is proud to stand alongside local nonprofits providing invaluable services and programs throughout our region.

Thank you to all who attended and for the incredible work you do every single day. The impact you make matters.
