What is United Way and what does it offer?
United Way of Greenwich is a volunteer-driven organization that works to address the health and human service needs of the community. It accomplishes this goal by partnering with public, private, and non-profit groups to raise money, which it distributes to different agencies. Among the groups that benefit from United Way’s help are the Greenwich chapter of the American Red Cross; the Boys & Girls Club of Greenwich; Community Centers, Inc.; Greenwich Adult Day Center; Kids in Crisis, Transportation Association of Greenwich, and The Volunteer Center. United Way is also the home of United Sole Sisters, a group of more than 100 women dedicated to making a difference in Greenwich. The group’s focus for 2008 was raising money and presenting educational activities to benefit youth services through United Way of Greenwich. United Way of Greenwich is at 1 Lafayette Court, Greenwich. The Web site is unitedway-greenwich.com. For information or to make a contribution, call 869-2221.
