United Way of Frederick County

Description

United Way of Frederick County believes that everyone - regardless of where they started or ended up - should have the opportunity to be great. Sometimes the only thing a person needs in order to turn things around is the opportunity to do so. Through investment in evidence-based solutions, UWFC invests in the outcomes those solutions provide and, in turn, the people the new opportunities enable.

For nearly 85 years, United Way of Frederick County (UWFC) has fought for the health, education and financial stability of every person in our community. In Frederick County today, 37% of households struggle to afford basic household necessities. These households are one unexpected expense away from spiraling into poverty. The COVID-19 pandemic has had an enormous impact, financial and otherwise, on ALICE households. We are now more concerned than ever before about their future financial stability.
