Making an Impact
Your gift to United Way stays local to help ensure that our most vulnerable neighbors can connect to community resources that help improve their self-dependence.
Like many in our community, “Mary” was emotionally struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a high-risk individual, she was having a really difficult time not being able to see family and friends.
Mary’s family suggested she call 211, a free resource hotline for residents of Lebanon County. For non-emergency services, anyone can call 211, text their zip code to 898-211, or search online to connect to resources that can help.
Mary called 211 and was connected to resources, just like over 2,800 of our local neighbors so far this year.

LIVE PA is a collaboration between the Wolf Administration’s Office of Advocacy and Reform and the departments of Health and Human Services, working closely with United Way of Pennsylvania to fund hyper-local, grassroots nonprofit organizations to partner with certified vaccine providers to help the populations they serve overcome barriers to vaccination. With a reimbursement rate of $10 per shot achieved and a matching rate of $10 per direct person-to-person outreach, the grants are designed initially to range from $400 to $40,000 per vaccination event. It also includes a requirement that the nonprofits and local United Way chapters involved promote the events using traditional and digital media to help fight vaccine hesitancy. Any questions can be directed to United Way of Pennsylvania at info@uwp.org. Let us know about your vaccine events so we can help spread the word!
