Thanks to donations to United Way of Central Maryland, Briana was able to graduate from high school and provide a better life for her daughter. Isabella, who is blind, was able to get to a food pantry to feed her family during the pandemic. Pete, an Army veteran, lost his job and then his home when COVID-19 struck. With United Way's help, he now has a place to live and is getting the support he needs.

YOUR GIFT TO UNITED WAY SUPPORTS:
HOUSING
Through services and partnerships, we work to rapidly rehouse those who have lost their homes and prevent homelessness for countless others, helping to reduce rent costs and waive security deposits.
HEALTH
Your donation will help us provide enough—and better—food for every family by distributing food and meals, ensuring that communities have healthier shopping options and easier access to nutritious food, and increasing awareness related to wellness and nutrition.
EDUCATION
There are districts in our region where up to 40% of students won’t graduate from high school. Our education programs help put students on the right track to earn a diploma and achieve their dreams.
ECONOMIC ADVANCEMENT
Through GED instruction, job readiness training, career mentoring, and apprenticeships, we put people on track to gain the self-sufficiency we all desire and deserve—and that will help them to attain a stable, healthy life for themselves and their families.
211 MARYLAND UNITED WAY HELPLINE
Our 24-hour, free, confidential helpline answered more than 200,000 calls in the past year, and helps us identify and rapidly respond to new and emerging needs in the community.
EQUITY & SOCIAL JUSTICE FUND
Supporting equity and social justice will help us address inequities in United Way Neighborhood Zones, ensure educational equity for all students, including young men of color, and fund organizations focused on addressing racial inequity.
VETERANS TREATMENT AND SUPPORT
Many veterans have trouble transitioning to civilian life, and their struggles can sometimes lead to minor law offenses. The Veterans Treatment Court program serves those who have served us by providing critical support and resources to help them navigate their lives outside of the service and clear their records.
NEIGHBORHOOD ZONES
Focused on multi-generational support, our Neighborhood Zones located in Brooklyn, Poppleton, and Columbia support social, economic, and educational advancement.
