A SHARED VISION
Home
United Way of Southern Maine’s mission has been to improve people’s lives by mobilizing the caring power of our community. We are uniting individuals and organizations around our community’s shared vision, Thrive2027, three 10-year goals to improve education, financial stability, and health for every person in Southern Maine.

Help us all live longer, better.
248 more people in Cumberland County died prematurely between 2014-2016 than the previous three years, due in part to a 68% increase in drug-overdose death.
