Each year community-minded employers loan one or more of their employees to the United Way of Lackawanna County to participate in the Loaned Employee Program. When your organization sends an employee to our LE Program, it's a win-win for you, your employee, the United Way and the community!!

What is the Loaned Employee program?
Each year, local companies committed to making a tangible difference to our community, "loan" employees to work for the United Way from September through November. With training and support from the United Way staff, these dynamic individuals help develop and implement workplace campaigns.

What are the benefits to the company?
