For the first time ever, they walk into a store where everything is free and they're told: grab whatever you want.
That moment — and so many others — is made possible by donors like you. In just two years, Child Focus has gone from serving 40% of foster children in Union County to 70%, with a goal of reaching every single one. Your Westfield United Fund donation helps make sure every child has one consistent adult showing up for them.
This is your donation at work. Learn more about Child Focus and our other partner agencies at westfieldunitedfund.org or through the link in bio.

When you donate to Westfield United Fund, here's what that looks like in action.

988 crisis calls are up 90% this year — and Caring Contact is there to answer them. WUF's consistent annual support means Caring Contact can plan for the future and guarantee someone is always on the other end of the line.

85 cents of every dollar donated goes directly to programming, because when someone calls in crisis, there's no room for less.

This is your donation at work.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Learn more and donate at westfieldunitedfund.org or through our link in bio.
