Building Strong Foundations for Our Community
At United Way of Naugatuck & Beacon Falls, we believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive. That begins by ensuring our neighbors can meet their most essential needs: healthcare, housing, and nutritious food.
When basic needs are met, individuals and families are better equipped to pursue education, secure meaningful employment, and contribute positively to our community. Together, we’re building a stronger, more resilient future for all.
Our commitment includes:
- Access to Healthcare Outcome: Making sure every resident can receive affordable, timely medical, dental, and mental health care, with a focus on prevention and early intervention.
- Access to Housing Outcome: Expanding options for safe, stable housing, whether it’s short-term shelter during emergencies or permanent, affordable homes.
- Access to Nutritious Food Outcome: Ensuring families have reliable access to healthy meals so no one in our community goes hungry.
Through partnerships, volunteer efforts, and generous support from donors like you, we’re able to address immediate needs and invest in long-term solutions that uplift everyone.
