Mission
The Mission of United Way is to improve lives by mobilizing the caring power of our communities We Are Creating Lasting Changes in Community Conditions - United Way of Warren County is dedicated to building a stronger community by uniting individuals and institutions to create long-term sustainable solutions to issues that affect us all. United Way of Warren County helps bring our communities together to examine the most urgent needs and do what is necessary to improve lives. If it requires fundraising, going to Congress, or just getting people to work together, that is what we do. We look at root causes of problems - it is not enough to feed a hungry family, we work to change the conditions that led to their hunger in the first place. United Way of Warren County is much more than a fundraiser, and we help the community with more than just dollars. We facilitate community building. Our responsibility to the community includes roles such as advocate for public policy, convener, and program designer. As an advocate for public policy, at the state level United Way of Warren County has urged local and state government to focus on key issues. One such issue is affordable housing. As a convener, United Way of Warren County's network of partners and supporters includes people and professionals from all walks of life - corporate, government, educational institutions, non-profit agencies, and the community-at-large. United Way has the unique ability to bring all of these representatives to the table - to focus on what matters most - the lives we change in our community. As a program designer, United Way of Warren County has a proven track record of establishing essential non-profit organizations in Warren County. In recent years, key organizations that serve the Warren County community such as Abilities of Northwest NJ, Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Warren County, Visiting Homemaker Service of Warren County.
