United Way of Lebanon County is proud to be celebrating 70 years of service to the local community. “Throughout our history, we have raised funds to ensure support is available for community members who often face more than one problem - from poverty, to hunger, to isolation, and poor mental health. Now more than ever, our neighbors need our help. We rely on data to understand how current challenges are affecting our community and make grant funding decisions to create lasting change for local children and families,” says Julia Krall, Executive Director.
