Our Impact

United Way partners with agencies that provide education, advocacy, and resources to improve lives in Oswego County. The programs funded fall under one of our 3 impact areas:

End Hunger
Helping Children and Youth Succeed
Health and Well-Being

We see results not only by being a fundraising arm for 22 programs that address these needs, but also by providing events throughout the year that raise awareness and drive results on these issues.

When you give to the United Way of Greater Oswego County, your donation is allocated through the community fund to support our three impact areas.
