United Way of Rockland
County, Inc. provides programs that touch more than 100,000 Rockland
residents every year. In 2005, the United Way of Rockland County raised
$937,000 to assist in funding 28 programs with 23 non-profit human service
agencies and an additional $500,000 in gifts in kind. United Way of
Rockland County's focus is to make the community a better place to live
by assisting seniors, caring for children and youth, strengthening families,
assisting people in crisis, increasing self-sufficiency for people with
disabilities, and promoting health and healing. This was accomplished
through the United Way fundraising efforts --- a campaign spearheaded
by the county's top corporate, retail and agency donors and their employees.
Our mission is to effectively mobilize the caring
power of our community to help people improve their lives.
