United Way of Buffalo & Erie County

United Way of Buffalo & Erie County works with community partners to improve health and well-being, strengthen financial stability, help young people reach their potential, and address urgent needs across Western New York.

Its work includes supporting programs selected through a competitive funding process focused on high-need populations, measurable results, and alignment with United Way priorities. The organization also participates in the Emergency Food and Shelter Program, which supplements local food and shelter services through community-based decision-making.
