In 2023, we celebrate 103 years of helping those most in need in central Massachusetts. The United Way brings people together to build strong communities where everyone can get a quality education, a good job, and live a healthy life. But we are not able to do this work alone: United Way unites people, organizations, and communities in purpose. Together we mobilize resources swiftly and purposefully to address needs and make life better for every person in our community.
