United Way's focus is to make a difference in the lives of children, families and seniors. We strive to improve education, income and health across our region. Working with the communities we serve, the United Way of Eastern Maine is a trusted catalyst for meaningful and lasting change that improves the lives of people in our region. We accomplish this by bringing together subject experts, business leaders, donors, neighborhoods, and members of local nonprofit agencies. These community members help identify our community's most critical social issues. In forming these partnerships, we are better able to address the underlying causes of problems in our community and prevent them from happening.
