The Lakes Region United Way has been serving the communities of central New Hampshire since 1957. We are a 501c3 non-profit, governed by a local board of engaged volunteers. In essence, the Lakes Region United Way works to develop community resources, and then invest those resources in a comprehensive way back into the Lakes Region community. It is what we do. It is through our community investment process that we seek to create positive change in our communities.

It is our vision to be the leading collaborative force effectively stewarding the region's resources with strategic focus and purpose to positively impact the human condition in the Lakes Region. We know we cannot succeed alone, and that it will take a community effort to affect change in the human condition. Therefore, our values are centered on three tenets: We must engage the community through volunteerism, we must treat all of the citizens and community partners with respect and integrity, and our work must be based around collaboration.

Welcome to the Lakes Region United Way's website! We hope you will spend some time here and take a look at our organization. We are proud of our work in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire, and excited about the future of our community.
