About United Way of Lewis County...
We are YOUR United Way
For more than 55 years, United Way of Lewis County has helped thousands of deserving people and has been the charitable partner for many area agencies, businesses and civic organizations. United Way of Lewis County has invested millions of dollars that directly and indirectly touch nearly every Lewis County man, woman and child. We have the unique ability, vision and resources to bring together diverse stakeholders around a community vision of creating positive change in Lewis County.
United Way of Lewis County has evolved from its roots as a fundraising organization to a critical community impact organization mobilizing local partners - including businesses, community leaders and community residents - to break the cycle of poverty and expand opportunities for people to become self-sufficient.
We unite community resources to invest in solutions that lift families out of poverty in our community. Our board, staff, donors, volunteers and community partners are committed to creating lasting, sustainable changes that transform lives and build a thriving community for us all.
To improve lives in Lewis County, United Way of Lewis County focuses on five sectors:
- Early Childhood Education

Our community impact approach is unique - we not only address immediate needs, but we also work towards changing systems so that individuals and families can overcome challenges altogether. It is about investing in the present and the foundation, as well as the future.
A healthy community learns well, earns well, and lives well. We believe that every family facing poverty deserves a fighting chance at success. With your support, together, we can change the story for struggling families in Lewis County.
