United Way of Perry County

Executive Director’s Message

What matters to you? To your family? To your community? What matters to the United Way of Perry County is providing help for people in crisis, making families and youth stronger and improving the health of our friends and neighbors. All of these are things that probably matter to you too. And that’s why United Way of Perry County is doing what matters for our community. By funding programs that address the needs of our community, we are making a huge impact.

UWPC is also impacting our community through our own programs such as: “Holiday Helpers United” which brings together resources in our area to help those in need at Christmas; “Days of Caring” which matches volunteers and non-profits to do hands on projects; “Perry County Food Coalition” which is a unified effort of five area food pantries to share resources and be better able to feed the hungry; and “Stuff the Bus” which is a multi-county school supply drive to assist low income families as their children go back to school.
