United Way Of Northern Shenandoah Valley

United way nsv has collaborated with united way agencies across virginia on the alice project, which shines a spotlight on the number of families in our community who are struggling to make ends meet. These families work hard and earn more than the federal poverty level, but can barely cover the basics: housing, child care, food, health care, and transportation. The problem is alice families, who often do not qualify for social services benefits, often don't know where to turn when a crisis occurs. The valley assistance network (van) was created to fill a gap that our community desperately needs. It has proven to be a safety net for hundreds of people in our community.

During the current fiscal year, the united way nsv disbursed $31,250 in relief to needy individuals and families suffering from the cares/covid-19 pandemic.

During the current fiscal year, the united way nsf disbursed $89,300 of funds from the navigate grant to assist families in need with the focus capacity with housing, utilities, etc in warren, shenandoah, and page counties. In addition, the organization distributed $15,000 in alice emergency funds to qualifying individuals.
