United Way of Southern Chester County

Our mission is to improve people's lives by mobilizing the caring power and resources of our community; to provide local non-profit agencies with needed financial, professional, and strategic support; and to ensure that contributions fund programs that effectively move people from crisis to independence. We accomplish this by allocating funds raised to programs reviewed and selected by volunteer panels for their effective performance and measurable results. Other service programs are identifying unmet needs and creating pilot programs to address those needs, providing information and referral services for people in need, mentoring nonprofit agencies, and coordinating volunteer activities. We do all this while maintaining the highest standards of excellence in ethics and integrity to ensure success.
