United Way believes we can achieve more together than any of us could on our own. We unite people, o Most important, United Way gets results.

United Way of the Virginia Peninsula’s Community Assistance Network (CAN) serves those facing poverty related crises in: Gloucester County, Hampton, James City County, Mathews County, Newport News, New Kent, Poquoson, Williamsburg, and York County. People usually think of United Way as a fundraising organization—but that's just part of what we do. Our years of experience tells us the best way to help those who need us most is to focus on the root causes of our community's most critical issues. So we not only develop resources, we invest them in nonprofit agencies that lift our neighbors in need out of poverty. United Way brings people together from all over the community-government, business, faith groups, nonprofits, and citizens-to identify and tackle the complex issues that keep individuals and families in the cycle of poverty. We build partnerships with other funders, municipalities, and community organizations, as well, because it takes the whole community to make this work. United Way makes sure the agencies we fund are getting the results our community needs. Through evaluations that measure Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), United Way can track progress and ensure our donors that their money is invested in our community’s most impactful resources that help our neighbors in need overcome the cycle of poverty.

A trunk full of treats, smiles, and community spirit! 🍂🎃 We had a wonderful time connecting with families at the Chick-fil-A Mooretown Fall Festival and Trunk-or-Treat, handing out United Way goodies and treats, and sharing plenty of smiles along the way.

Thank you to Chick-fil-A for inviting us to be part of this fun event and for hosting a food drive benefit one of our nonprofit partners FISH Williamsburg. That's what neighbors helping neighbors looks like. ❤️
