The United Way of Central Massachusetts is dedicated to fighting for the health, education, and financial stability of our community. For over a century, we empower families and reduce poverty through vital programs focused on increasing graduation rates and supporting youth opportunities.

We foster strong community collaboration through initiatives like the annual Day of Caring and the Worcester Together Fund. During the COVID-19 crisis, we mobilized historic efforts, distributing over $2.3 million in recovery grants to 54 nonprofits and providing emergency aid. We continue to invest in youth programs and champion social justice, demonstrating how partnership creates real, lasting community impact.
