United Way of Allegheny County supports our United Way family in Western Connecticut.
In response to the horrific acts of violence at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, United Way of Western Connecticut, in partnership with Newtown Savings Bank, has established the Sandy Hook School Support Fund.
“We are committed to providing support and resources where and when they become identified and needed,” said United Way of Western Connecticut CEO Kim Morgan. “I have been in touch with United Ways across the country who have responded to similar tragedies within their communities in an effort to identify best practices in dealing with the short term and long term needs that our community will face. We will work directly with the community to determine the best ways to support the families of the victims.”
As people respond to this heartbreaking tragedy, they are turning to United Way looking for ways to help. Donations will be used to provide support services to the families and community affected by this senseless tragedy.
Online donations can be processed at https://newtown.uwwesternct.org/.
We continue to keep the victims, their families and the entire Newtown community in our thoughts during this difficult time.
