About Our Work

United Way of Morris County is working to advance the common good by focusing on EDUCATION, INCOME and HEALTH.  These are the basic necessities and building blocks for a good life – both as individuals and as a community. We all win when children succeed in school and achieve their potential; when a family becomes financially stable and independent, and when individuals are able to achieve and maintain good health throughout the stages of their lives.

We aim to create long-lasting community change by addressing the underlying causes of the most significant local issues.

EDUCATION
These initiatives focus on the successful development of our children – from preschool through the completion of high school. It is our goal to ensure that each child has access to the same quality of education. With a good educational foundation, our children will be able to achieve their potential, secure stable jobs, and lead productive lives.

INCOME
These initiatives focus on issues in our community that hinder residents from earning enough income to support a family through retirement. It is our goal to create an environment where individuals are self-sufficient, needing little or no help from government or social services to maintain a stable home and satisfying life.
