About the Organization

At the United Way of Westchester and Putnam (UWWP) we believe that WE ARE STRONGER TOGETHER and that it is only by being UNITED that we can change the world for the better.

In Westchester and Putnam more than 40 percent of households are living in poverty or paycheck to paycheck, what we call ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed). These are often hardworking families struggling to make ends meet and provide a better life for their children. But for these families, when funds run short, they are forced to make impossible choices between childcare, paying the rent, filling a prescription, or fixing a car. They are our preschool teachers, home health aides, and retail salespeople – workers essential to keeping all our communities and economies humming, yet who struggle to pay their own basic bills.

We achieve results three ways. First, by investing dollars or essential goods in programs with proven results. Second, by providing direct services to the community such as our free 211 Information and Referral Helpline, our Ride United Food Distribution program, our Education United free, bilingual Afterschool Program, and so much more. And finally, by fostering collaborations with community stakeholders, leaders, and partners to change the way we look at and solve problems. Every year, we collaborate with hundreds of nonprofit partners and governmental agencies, and our work positively impacts hundreds of thousands of individuals.

Our United Way has a $12 million budget and 37 FT and 50 PT staffers, who collectively generate almost $48 million in impact for Westchester and Putnam families in crisis.

Our United Way has a purpose-driven, results-oriented, caring culture, that prioritizes the greater good, working hard, and getting things done, while building mutual trust amongst our teammates, taking risks, and having fun in the process.
