ABOUT CCUW: People know the name and often recognize our logo or our mantra to “LIVE UNITED,” but that doesn’t mean they understand what we do. The answer is simple: We help people. That’s it. That’s our most important goal. To help as many of our neighbors in Centre County have access to programs that focus on the building blocks of a happy and healthy life — education, financial stability and health. We believe in a holistic approach, working together our Partner Agency Network who aims to support our most vulnerable neighbors those in the ALICE population. ALICE stands for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed, these households are lead by hard-workers, they are health care providers, teachers, retail clerks, sanitation works, and others. ALICE workers are the backbone of our economy, with the pandemic making it crystal clear how much we rely on them, they are often those deemed 'essential'. With inflation outpacing wage increases these families live paycheck to paycheck, one emergency event away from financial disaster. ALICE households and households in poverty are forced to make tough choices, such as deciding between quality child care or paying the rent — choices that have long-term consequences not only for their families, but for all. In Centre County where there are 60,467 households - 30% are ALICE and another 17% are living in poverty. This equates to 47% of Centre County households struggling to afford basic needs. In 2023 over 51,000 residents utilized United Way funded programs or services. Join Centre County United Way in creating opportunities for a better life for everyone in Centre County. We are all connected and interdependent; the idea that we all win when a child succeeds in school, when families are financially stable, and when people are healthy. It is less about helping one person at a time and more about making sure the systems are in place to help everyone in Centre County.
We are truly better together and can make a big impact when we LIVE UNITED!
