United Way of Central and Northeastern Connecticut

United Way of Central and Northeastern Connecticut brings partners together through its Onward860 approach to address poverty and strengthen communities. Its work focuses on closing gaps in child literacy, health and healthy environments, affordable housing, and wages so that children, adults, and families have greater opportunities for stability.

Programs and initiatives include Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, free tax preparation through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program, and support connected to housing emergencies through United Way Rapid Response Funds. The organization also works with community partners and volunteers to direct resources toward locally identified needs.

Learn more about the organization’s priorities through its official Our Work page. Connecticut residents seeking housing-related resources can also review NHREA’s Connecticut homeless assistance guide and federal assistance resources. Visit the official website to confirm current program details.
