Today, the full and staggering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are just becoming known: the dramatic learning losses impacting our children, the long-term effects of food instability, increasing risks of eviction or foreclosure and a mental health crisis shaking our families, our children and our older adults.

Addressing these challenges will take bold action and UNITED solutions. With a continued emphasis on  stabilizing the community, we have a solid plan and clear, BOLD GOALS to ensure that more students are  successful in school; more older adults can access the resources they need to stay healthy, and every person in the Greater Lehigh Valley has a solid foundation of food, housing and mental health services.

Our Impact Areas

“If not for the UWGLV, Slater Family Network would not exist. From fourteen years ago when we began receiving seed money for services, programs and advocacy to a needy, forgotten area of the Slate Belt, to the present with a vital family center offering stability, support and hope. United Way has made a difference in the lives of many families in the Bangor Area School District through their monetary investment, technical assistance and ever-present support.”
