Mission
The mission of the United Way of Adams County is to improve lives by mobilizing the caring power of our community.
Vision
We are committed to delivering effective programs and finding solutions to local problems. Our unique approach mobilizes human service agencies, businesses, government, volunteers, and other organizations to build caring communities. We identify critical issues, raise money and resources partner with agencies that meet issues head-on, and measure the impact we’ve made. More children are ready to learn when they enter school. At-risk youth teamed with caring adults stay in school. Senior citizens receive the home and health care services they need to live independently. The result is a better quality of life for all of us, especially the most vulnerable members of our communities.
Our Programs
VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) assists individuals from low-income households, seniors over , and members of the local Hispanic community by offering complimentary tax preparation services through a team of trained volunteers. This initative is in partnership with the Adams County Office for Aging and the Manos Unidas Hispanic American Center.
{artnering with Weis Markets, Gettysburg Times, and ACNB Bank, UWAC gathers thousands of pounds of non-perishable food and essential items for the annual Bag the Bounty Food Drive. These contributions are allocated to various food programs in Adams County to replenish their supplies for the winter season.
In partnership with Gettysburg College, at the end of each academic year, Gettysburg College Facilities Services and United Way of Adams County coordinate the Give It Up for Good Sale. Students donate reusable items as they move out in May, and everything is sold for below-thrift-store prices to benefit United Way and offer affordable goods to the community.
