about united way of Delaware
“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is:
what are you doing for others?
DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.
Over the past nearly 80 years, many in our state have enjoyed progress, while others continue to struggle. We know the change we need doesn’t come through progress for some, it comes through progress for all.
When we come together… when we listen… when we choose each other… walls fall down.
When walls come down, more kids fall in love with reading, more young people build careers they enjoy, and more adults learn how to make better decisions with their money. At United Way of Delaware, we are committed to dismantling the barriers that hold our communities back. For the next 80 years, we promise to advocate for all. We promise to unite neighbors across zip codes, advocate for fairness, and stand for justice.
So we can all choose each other more often.
Because when we choose each other, we can build a Delaware and Salem County (NJ) where everyone enjoys progress.
