Mission Statement

To improve the lives of residents of Ocean County by mobilizing the caring power of our community.

Description

We are an independent affiliate of United Way of America--an umbrella charity, with a strong history in Ocean County. Our staff raises money through workplace campaigns, fundraising events, foundation grant submissions, and asking for gifts from local philanthropists. The money we raise in Ocean County is required to be spent on Ocean County residents.

United Way of Ocean County provides the leadership and resources it takes to help people in the county become independent. We work with community leaders and experts to understand the issues in each of the communities we serve. Then we fund the network of programs that can best address those issues. Or we launch new initiatives that will. We hold ourselves and all of our partner programs accountable for delivering measurable, lasting results.

The staff of UWOC works very closely with our dedicated Board of Directors. They represent the residents of Ocean County from all walks of life. The UWOC Board of Directors lead by example and display the highest commitment to civic duty and a desire to give back to their community, from financial support to volunteering their time to serve on working committees.
