United Way of York County For 100 years, United Way of York County has worked in the York County community to improve people’s lives.

United Way of York County's mission is to assist working households in our community on their journey toward financial stability by collaboratively and equitably reducing barriers to prosperity. It began as The York Welfare Federation, an organization that raised funds on behalf of 17 member agencies. For, a century, the organization served as a backbone of philanthropy in York County vetting programs to ensure donor dollars are staying local and going to high-impact programs. United Way of York County has adapted over the years and now collaborates with other public and private organizations to engage the community in addressing the complex issues facing York County. Our focus is to help working families struggling to cover basic living expenses. This enables United Way of York County to tackle the immediate and continuing needs of York County families and individuals and to create real, lasting change that matters to you and our community.

The Pennsylvania Public Transportation Association (PPTA) recently hosted a Shared Ride Summit to highlight the importance of Pennsylvania’s Shared Ride Program and the role it plays in our communities. Our Vice President of Impact & Strategy, Laura O’Grady, was a panelist for Shared Ride & Workforce Access, a session focused on the connection between transportation and economic development, and how working households get to their places of employment.

When many people think tax season ends, our work continues. Through the October 15 extension deadline, our Free Tax Prep volunteers helped York County residents access services and claim the refunds and credits they've earned.

This season, we prepared more than 5,500 tax returns, returned more than $4 million to local families, and worked alongside 45 dedicated volunteers across York County.

Every return represents a family, an individual, or a senior who received trusted support at no cost. Do you want to be part of the team that makes this impact possible? Learn more at: https://www.unitedway-york.org/volunteer
