United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley

United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley fights for the health, safety and education of every person. But, our region also faces challenges.

Together, we’re building a strong community -- where our kids thrive, our seniors are healthy in their own homes and everyone has access to nutritious food. Every day our community is growing and changing -- from the ambitious new development in downtown Allentown to Easton center square to the many thriving suburban and rural areas. United Way has assessed the needs and is devoted to rallying our community around these challenges and turning them into opportunities for everyone living, working and learning here. When one of us wins, we all win. We are committed to serving you and everyone in this community.

Leading the way into our 2026 campaign 🌎

At our annual staff picnic, we had plenty to celebrate—including an incredible show of generosity from our own team. This year, 100% of our staff participated in our internal campaign, raising $125,684—a 25% increase from last year.

Our team shows up every day for the Greater Lehigh Valley, and we’re incredibly proud to see that commitment reflected in the way they personally choose to give back, too. Thank you to our entire staff for leading by example. Now, let’s carry that momentum into the 2026 campaign!

We’re counting down to one of our favorite days of the year 🌟

In just one week, volunteers from across the Greater Lehigh Valley will come together for Day of Caring—rolling up their sleeves, connecting with local organizations and making an impact right here in the communities we call home.

As our Campaign Co-Chairs Rick and Amy Bucher remind us, Day of Caring is about more than the projects completed. It’s an opportunity to connect with our neighbors and see firsthand what we can accomplish when we work together.

Day of Caring is almost here. Are you ready to ?
