University announces annual United Way Campaign

Each year, The University of Scranton supports the United Way of Lackawanna and Wayne Counties as they sponsor critical programs to improve the lives of all people in our communities through education, economic mobility and health programs.This year is no exception, and therefore, we are pleased to announce The University of Scranton’s annual United Way fundraising campaign, which will be held through Dec. 9, 2022.

Please join us as we support the United Way as they advocate to meet the needs within our communities:

Helping families and individuals achieve greater self-sufficiency by empowering them with skills and knowledge, providing children and teens with opportunities for quality learning and skill development, and providing all residents the opportunity to achieve optimal physical and mental health while promoting healthy lifestyles and communities.

This year, we again ask you to join us in making the decision to donate to the United Way of Lackawanna and Wayne Counties. Donation information, including convenient payroll deduction will be available on the “my.scranton" portal “Employee Tab” under “University Giving,” or by contacting the Office of Human Resources at (570) 941-7767. Donations will be accepted through Dec. 9.

Together, we can support United Way as they fund 42 programs at 21 local non-profit organizations who take the lead in meeting evolving community needs. We appreciate whatever you can do to help!
