Fundraiser for UWDE - Every Dollar Makes a Difference!

LITERACY IS A BASIC HUMAN RIGHT.
Knowing how to read is something most of us take for granted. But the truth is, many children in Delaware and Salem County (NJ) don’t read well. And as they get older, this can cause them to disconnect from learning altogether. At UWDE, our goal is to ensure every child reads on grade level by the end of 3rd grade. That way all students have opportunities to succeed, no matter who they are or where they live.

About United Way of Delaware (UWDE)

Mission: At United Way of Delaware, we're answering the call to help our community thrive. We're working to ensure kids can read on grade level by third grade, support career and college success for youth, connect families to vital resources through Delaware 211, and empower individuals with the tools they need to achieve financial stability. It’s about creating lasting change that lifts up everyone, not just offering temporary fixes.

When you give to United Way of Delaware you are helping children and families. Whether it's a kindergartner who lacks the resources to learn remotely, or a family calling 2-1-1 seeking immediate shelter, United Way of Delaware has initiatives in the community that make an impact in the lives of real people.
