CORNING, N.Y. (WENY)--  The United Way of the Southern Tier will be investing over $2 million in 70 local non-profit programs in 2024-2025 . 

“Because of United Way donors, children will be better prepared to start school and finish strong, senior citizens will be able to age safely in their homes, and people facing crisis will have the support they need,” said United Way of the Southern Tier President & CEO Stephen M. Hughes.

The United Way receives generous donations from people within Chemung and Steuben counties, making these investments possible. 

“We are grateful for the generosity and support of our donors,” said United Way Board Chair David Walker, First Heritage Federal Credit Union Senior Vice President. “Your support and contributions fuel our mission and allow United Way to make a meaningful impact for our community.”

United Way’s investment in programs for 2024-2025 is $2,365,883. The investments will benefit programs like the Southern Tier Kids on track, School-Age Programs, Senior Support Network,  the Basic Needs Network and 2-1-1 & Community Volunteer Programs. 

A list of all funded programs is available on the United Way website. Gifts to the 2025 Community Campaign can be made online or by mail.
