Since 1955, the organization has been combining forces with nonprofits, businesses, school systems, government agencies and individual donors to address our area’s most pressing challenges. UWKV partners with 58 local programs to provide a better quality of life for people experiencing emergencies, hardships and personal challenges in our communities. In 2022, more than 31,000 local people received assistance from UWKV programs and initiatives, which translates into supporting one out of every four people in Kennebec County. UWKV has evolved from its roots as a fundraising organization to become a critical community convener. The organization mobilizes local partners and supporters to help people succeed, expand opportunities available in the area and accomplish greater things together. UWKV’s goal is to create long-lasting change in communities by addressing the underlying causes of the challenges residents face in the region. It takes everyone in the community to step up and LIVE UNITED, creating a brighter future for Kennebec County.
