United Way of Blair County

Do you want to change some things in Blair County? Do you want to help:

children reach their full potential and have safe places to go after school?

people of all ages to be physically and mentally healthy?

famIlies achieve financial stability?

be the safety net for people who have lost their homes due to an emergency?

With a single gift to the United Way of Blair County, you can support programs like local Boy Scout Venturing Clubs and Girl Scout Troops, healthy meal delivery to older adults that are unable to cook for themselves, shelter and legal assistance for domestic abuse victims, and so much more! And, it doesn’t need to be a large gift to make a difference. Every dollar counts.
