DONATE YOUR TIME
United Way of Southington is made up of "Southington People Helping Southington People." We offer many ways for you to support your community. Every one of us has skills and strengths and special things we can do to help. United Way of Southington relies on the strengths and abilities of its supporters and community champions. People just like you!
Be a Social Media Ambassador
Follow us on Facebook and share our posts, reels, and stories! United Way of Southington has been a bit of a secret for decades, and we're working hard to change that. One of the fastest and simplest ways to educate more people about our existance and work in the community is by getting in front of new people on social media. We need YOU to reach more people who care just as much as you do about the welfare of our Southington neighbors.
Join us for Annual Volunteer Opportunities
Maybe you have just a few hours to help with our annual Postal Food Drive, night at the Southington Drive-In, or a time slot at our beverage booth at the Southington Apple Harvest. Perhaps you can regularly serve on a committee. Every minute helps. When you volunteer with the United Way of Southington, you are helping to make our community a better place for all.
Serve on our Board of Directors
The United Way of Southington Board of Directors is made up of community leaders, business people, and residents who share our goal of improving our community. As an active, working Board, our members give of their time and talents to support the United Way mission. Consider joining our current Board of Directors in their efforts to make our community a better place for all. Contact Us if you are interested in serving on our Board.
