Schuylkill United Way

The Schuylkill United Way is dedicated to providing funding, guidance and encouragement to our 15 partner agencies who help many people in our county by way of education, human service, health care assistance, and other programs that respond to community needs. You'll find our staff and supporters at our annual events committed to educating everyone about our work and the services of our Partner Agencies. These events include:^ Captain Jason B. Jones Memorial Day of Care - May 9, 2025 ^ 8th Annual High School Football Challenge - June 17, 2025 ^ Stuff the Bus - Drop off locations for donated school supplies fill Schuylkill County during the month of July. We collect the items and put them in bookbags to be distributed to schools and agencies that get them to families in need.^ The Nurse's Pantry - Located in schools in each district, this program provides basic hygiene items, lice kits, clothing, and snacks for school nurses to have at their disposal. The goal is to ensure students have what they need to stay focused, stay healthy, and stay in school.^ Annual Campaign – Spearheaded by the Campaign Chairperson & Campaign Leadership Committee, our campaign runs September to November. During this time, we actively seek funding pledges needed to answer our Partner Agencies’ calls for assistance to plan the following year. Leading the way in this endeavor are our Pacesetters. These are deeply dedicated individuals who contribute at least $500/year. In addition, Schuylkill United Way is a leader in many community initiatives including PA 211, Emergency Food & Shelter Program, SingleCare (prescription assistance), and was at the forefront of Schuylkill County's COVID-19 response.
