As we celebrate 90 years of service, Middlesex United Way continues to invest in what matters most for Middletown and Middlesex County: Youth Opportunity, Financial Security, Healthy Communities, and Community Resiliency.
ALICE in Middletown
In Middletown, 46% of households are ALICE — Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. These families work hard but still struggle to afford basics like housing, food, and health care.
Middlesex United Way is addressing these challenges through investments in our key impact areas and community partnerships.
211 Services
In the past year, 8,364 Middletown residents reached out to 2-1-1 for help. Close to 34% of the requests were for mental health and addiction support, while another 29% of the requests were for housing and shelter needs.
United Way’s 2-1-1 is free, confidential, and available 24/7 — connecting Middletown residents to the resources they need most every day.
Our Community Partners Serving Middletown
In Middletown, Middlesex United Way supports a variety of programs including Gilead Community Services, Columbus House, STEAM Train, Oddfellows Playhouse, Kuhn Employment Services, Middlesex Habitat for Humanity, Middletown PAL, Middletown Pride, and the Northern Middlesex YMCA — connecting families to housing, education, job training, and youth opportunities.
