United Way of Jefferson and N. Walworth Counties

United Way of Jefferson & North Walworth Counties is a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating lasting change by bringing people and resources together to improve lives throughout our communities. We focus on advancing youth opportunity, financial security, healthy communities, and community resiliency by working alongside local partners, businesses, schools, volunteers, and donors to address our region's most pressing needs.

Every Step. Every Student. is United Way's school readiness initiative that helps ensure local students start the school year with confidence and the resources they need to succeed. The program provides new, properly fitted athletic shoes at no cost to children who qualify, reducing financial barriers for families while promoting health, attendance, confidence, and academic success.
