Now in its fifth year, the Wayne County United Way Fund Distribution Committee is pleased to once again announce that it is accepting applications for grant opportunities.

Over the past four years, the United Way has distributed nearly $200,000 to more than a dozen community and human service organizations providing critical programs and services in Wayne County.

Applicants must be non-profit, 501 (c) 3 health and human service organizations providing in-person, direct services in Wayne County. Funding may be requested for existing programs, new programs or initiatives, program expansion and capital items. Supplies that are an integral part of service delivery will also be considered. The grants available range from $500 to $5,000.

The monies were raised during the last United Way campaign by individuals and businesses who specifically wanted to support services for Wayne County residents. For more information, please contact Peg Kopko at (570) 343-1267 x225 or email her.
