United Way of Wyoming Valley

**About Us** **For over 100 years, our mission has been focused on strengthening our community and improving the lives of those who are most vulnerable.** While times and needs change over the years, that sense of mission will not. [Learn More About Our History](https://unitedwaywb.org/about/history/) **Our Focus** Today, we are very focused on the complex issues of childhood poverty and improving the odds of success for at-risk children and families while maintaining support for the social service “safety net.” In addition to providing grants to partner agencies for these purposes, our Community Impact framework, “Poverty to Possibility,” also includes a number of best practice initiatives and partnerships with schools to reach and help children in need. Our long-term goal is to help break the cycle of poverty by addressing the education and health of children, the financial stability of families, and the basic needs of those who face an immediate threat to their well-being.
