As we celebrate 90 years of service, Middlesex United Way continues to invest in what matters most for Westbrook and Middlesex County: Youth Opportunity, Financial Security, Healthy Communities, and Community Resiliency.
ALICE in Westbrook
In Westbrook, 41% 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, just over 300 Westbrook residents reached out to 2-1-1 for help. More than 35% of the requests were for mental health and addiction support, while another 16% were for housing and shelter needs.
2-1-1 is free, confidential, and available 24/7 — connecting Westbrook residents to the resources they need most.
Our Community Partners Serving Westbrook
Middlesex United Way is proud to support and partner with agencies that serve Westbrook including Gilead Community Services, Westbrook Youth & Family Services, Literacy Volunteers Valley Shore, Kuhn Employment Services, Valley Shore YMCA, and Middlesex Health’s Perinatal Program — helping families access critical resources close to home.
