Our Vision:
We work to ensure that individuals and families can meet their basic needs, build wealth, and prepare for the future. Our efforts support workforce development, job training, financial literacy, and access to safe, affordable housing — laying the foundation for long-term economic stability.
Local Investment:
Middlesex United Way focuses on:
- Job training & employment supports
- Basic needs
- Tax preparation assistance
The entire community benefits when individuals and families are financially stable. We work with partners who provide basic needs as well as employment training supports and services.
United Way is a partner with Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites to help qualifying households file their taxes and ensure they are receiving back all the money they have earned through tax credits. Middlesex United Way has been a VITA tax preparation site since 2010.
We also support United Way 2-1-1, the free 24-hour information and referral helpline that is available throughout the state. 2-1-1 is a partnership between the state of Connecticut and all Connecticut United Ways.
