CREATE LASTING CHANGE.

2United Way of Pitt County | www.uwpcnc.org

Our goal is to create lasting change by addressing the underlying causes of community issues.

We provide a safety net of basic needs services. But we also look at the bigger picture to tackle the issue of strengthening families by focusing on school success and workforce development.

What we do.


Because we all win when a child succeeds in school and when there are jobs for working families.

Why we do it?


We work with local city and county government, social service agencies, community partners, the school district, local business, ECU, PCC, Vidant, the Chamber of Commerce, faith leaders and many other stakeholders.

How we do it?


How do we do it?

1) We support local organizations that help us meet goals identified by community volunteers

2) We bring organizations, people and resources together to focus on critical issues. We help achieve progress on community issues through collaborative, coordinated efforts


How do we do it?

100%of the funds to operate United Way of Pitt County are raised in Pitt County, and stay in Pitt County
