United Way of Greater New Haven

United Way of Greater New Haven works with partners, donors, and volunteers to address challenges related to education, health, and financial stability. Its work is focused on meeting immediate needs while helping build stronger, more equitable communities.

The organization helps families and individuals access healthy food and stable housing. Its food assistance efforts include distributions, pop-up pantries, summer meals, and prepared meals. Through the Coordinated Food Assistance Network, United Way collaborates with local community organizations to support more equitable and dignified access to nutritious food.

United Way also connects people with short-term shelter and services intended to address barriers to long-term stable housing.
