Over the last four years the United Way of Tri-County has allocated over $5 million in support of organizations within our 34 MetroWest communities. That is an average if $1.2 million per year, and almost half of those dollars were in Framingham alone. In addition, our United Way of Tri-County has sent almost $6 million to neighborhoods across the country.
Locally, we have:
- Helped over one million people receive food, clothing, housing, domestic violence support, quality in-school and after-school programming, and many more services to survive and thrive.
- Convened community groups and organizations to share ideas, best practices, and resources to reduce duplication of services and ensure successful programs.
- Taken the lead in evaluating programs and services to ensure that dollars are used to address root causes and make a lasting, positive impact on the community.
But we know that this is not enough, we need to do more. We recognize the important role that strong, healthy families play in our communities and we strive to become the catalyst for developing, delivering, and funding internal and community-based programs that assist the MetroWest families. By collaborating with other local organizations, we help identify each community’s most urgent issues and work together to develop effective approaches that allow donors to make the biggest impact possible on the lives of their neighbors.
