In honor of Indigenous Peoples' Day, we proudly highlight Wavie O'Grady, Lead Family Development Specialist here at Susquehanna Valley United Way. Wavie is part of our Family Services Team and works with local families and their children to ensure they have the tools needed to thrive, no matter their background or circumstances. Here is what she wanted to share with you all today!

Susquehanna Valley United Way’s Annual Campaign is underway with a focus on our local ALICE population. The goal is to raise $665,000 for vital programming for this underserved group. Community members are encouraged to participate in United Way’s Annual Day of Giving on 10/24/24, a 24-hour fundraising event designed to Unite our community and Ignite a brighter future. A neon glow party will kick things off at 5:30 PM on Wednesday, 10/23/24, at The Iron Fork at Frost Valley in Danville.

Susquehanna Valley United Valley has made significant strides this summer. Strategic planning, annual allocations, and collaborative meetings with partners have positioned them to deliver increased support and resources to our community.

Made possible by sponsorships from Weis Markets and PepsiCo, the give and WIN Sweepstakes honors the generosity of United Way donors and reminds us that, thanks to their support, the needs of local individuals and families will be met through United Way’s many programs and funded partners.

Based on recent ALICE data, more Pennsylvania families are struggling financially now than at this point in time since this data began being compiled and collected in 2010.

Susquehanna Valley United Way’s Parents as Teachers Program, along with Geisinger Unity Group, Columbia County Family Center, Nurse-Family Partnership, and the PA Family Support Alliance, have joined forces to raise awareness for National Child Abuse Awareness Month.

The Susquehanna Valley United Way held its 2023-24 Campaign Celebration, where they recognized the many businesses, volunteers, and community members who made this year's campaign successful.

April 26th is United Way’s Annual Day of Action. If you need volunteers or are looking to volunteer, this is a great way to get involved and give back to your community.
