The United Way of Greater Mercer County has three major initiatives under which all of its programming falls:
FINANCIAL SECURITY
UWGMC addresses the obstacles that prevent working families from getting ahead financially. It helps families meet their basic needs while gaining the financial capability to plan for and accomplish, their long-term financial goals. For families walking a financial tightrope, unable to save for college, a home, or retirement, it is ready to help.
YOUTH SUCCESS
UWGMC promotes early reading and college readiness. It strives to provide families with exposure to books, access to technology, and enrichment opportunities to nurture success.
ACCESS TO HEALTH
UWGMC understands that good health is both a community responsibility and a community benefit. By partnering with community based organizations throughout Mercer County, it is working to create a more resilient community.
