REPORT TO OUR COMMUNITY 2024-2025 Capital Region uwcr.org HELPING FAMILIES THRIVE UNITED WAY OF THE CAPITAL REGIONBOARD OF DIRECTORS 2024–2025 United Way of the Capital Region is proud to share this report with you as it tells the story of how United Way leads the way in creating a better life in our community. Day in and day out, our United Way helps families thrive by focusing on four pillars: access to health care , basic needs , school readiness and workforce development . We meet people where they are in life and give them resources and guidance to succeed. We believe no one should go at it alone. Over the past year, we have taken significant steps to better connect with families by meeting them in the school setting. We work in partnership with school nurses and counselors at Susquehanna Township, Steelton and Susquenita school districts to help children and their families gain access to health care as well as tackle barriers like transportation, early education, food and housing. While this holistic approach is new, we are seeing the impact of our vision. We believe every family deserves an opportunity to thrive and move forward in life. We are proud and humbled to help lead this work. The strength of our United Way has always been our people. The tireless support of our donors, volunteers and community inspires us to do more and be better every day. We cannot thank you enough for giving, volunteering and championing our work. Thank you for your support. United is the Way. FROM OUR LEADERS Page 2 | Report to Our Community 2024–2025 • United Way of the Capital Region Dear Friends and Neighbors: Timothy B.
