United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties is dedicated to bridging the gaps in education, financial stability, and health for every individual in our community. Our vision is to create a community where everyone can achieve their greatest potential through quality education, income stability, and healthy lives. To fulfill our mission, we are guided by a set of core values.

We are community-focused, identifying the unmet needs of our community and collaborating with volunteers and partners to make a substantial difference. We are also accountable, setting measurable goals for ourselves and our partners to ensure a tangible impact. Trustworthiness is paramount to us, as we conduct ourselves with the utmost integrity, fairness, ethics, and respect for one another.

Inclusivity is essential, and we actively seek diverse ideas and perspectives to better understand community needs, strengths, and resources. Through our various initiatives, including education, youth career pathways, financial stability programs, emergency food and shelter funding, and health initiatives like the Basic Needs Initiative, we strive to create positive change. Join us in building a united community where everyone can thrive
