As we celebrate 90 years of service, Middlesex United Way continues to invest in what matters most for Old Saybrook and Middlesex County: Youth Opportunity, Financial Security, Healthy Communities, and Community Resiliency.
ALICE in Old Saybrook
In Old Saybrook, 26% 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, close to 500 Old Saybrook residents reached out to 2-1-1 for help. More than 44% of the requests were for mental health and addiction support, while another 20% of the requests were for housing and shelter needs.
2-1-1 is free, confidential, and available 24/7 — connecting Old Saybrook residents to the resources they need most.
