Agency Details:

United Way Of Massachusetts Bay And Merrimack Valley

Our mission: To unite and inspire the community to improve people's lives and strengthen the neighborhoods in Greater Boston and Merrimack Valley.

Description:
We work with community partners to create lasting, positive change. By addressing basic needs like housing, job training and health insurance for children, we strive to create social and economic opportunity, especially for children and families with multiple obstacles throughout Greater Boston and Merrimack Valley.

We are one of 1,400 locally governed and independently operated United Ways, and we support an infrastructure of human service agencies whose work aligns with our goals. Each marshals the collective resources of the community, philanthropic and volunteer, and invests them to help individuals in crisis or at risk, become secure and self-sufficient. Together we lead the nation in creating positive impact by bringing communities together to focus on the most important needs of the community.

We apply our full resources -- funding, public policy, volunteers and education -- across four crucial areas; children, youth, employment and housing.
