How long has the United Way of Greater Waterbury served the local community?
The United Way of Greater Waterbury was founded in 1942 as the ‘Waterbury Community Chest’ and ran it’s first payroll deduction pledge drive in 1943 raising $419,722. United Way of Greater Waterbury is now a leader in facilitating the identification of regional needs and supporting solutions. We are working to advance the common good by focusing on the building blocks for a good life – a quality education that leads to a stable job, enough income to support a family through retirement, and ensuring our most basic needs are met.
