Welcome to Schuylkill United Way

A Legacy of Caring in Schuylkill County...

The Schuylkill United Way is dedicated to providing funding, guidance and encouragement to 16 human service agencies in Schuylkill County.

In 2008, those agencies provided a wide range of services including healthcare, social service, character-building and disaster aid to nearly one-half of all county residents.

	2009 Campaign September 5, 2008 - November 14, 2008

As a small United Way, we are proud to know our supporters by name. That is why the Schuylkill United Way strives to maintain a relationship with our members.  We know who needs help and we make it our personal business to provide that help to the best of our ability. 

From our Board of Directors to our agencies to our supporters, we know we can count on our circle of friends to be there for one another.
