History of United Way of the Lower Eastern Shore 1944-2025
United Way of the Lower Eastern Shore (UWLES), now in its 81st year of local service, harnesses the power of our community to advance health, education, and financial stability for all neighbors in Dorchester, Somerset, Wicomico, and Worcester counties. UWLES helps empower Lower Shore residents to achieve better health by addressing barriers to care, educational success by reducing the achievement gap between low- and middle-income students, and financial stability by advancing the economic security of families and individuals. United Way provides direct services, collaborates with local stakeholders, and supports dozens of local nonprofits to strengthen the entire community, impacting 1 in every 3 individuals on the Lower Shore annually.

United Way of the Lower Eastern Shore harnesses the power of our community to advance health, education, and financial stability.
Advancing the common good is less about helping one person at a time and more about changing systems to help us all. We are all connected and interdependent, and we all win when a child succeeds in school, when families are financially stable, when people are healthy.
United Way’s goal is to create long-lasting changes by addressing the underlying causes of these problems. Living United means being a part of the change. It takes everyone in the community working together to create a brighter future.
Give. Advocate. Volunteer. United Way Begins with YOU!
