Volunteering changes lives and builds happier, stronger communities.
Last year, United Way of Western Connecticut mobilized 1,800+ volunteers who logged in more than 8,100 hours helping the communities we serve.
People volunteered in a variety of ways—from reading to at-risk preschool children to delivering food to seniors during the pandemic. Here are the ways we are supporting volunteerism in our communities:
