Executive Notes
A year goes by quickly in our community and especially at United Way of Franklin County and in our community.
Every day, people are at work in our county to advance the common good. For 73 years, United Way has
been the force behind organizing and mobilizing local people and organizations, to improve lives and change
conditions that affect us all. LIVE UNITED continues to be our mantra as we work to improve education, income
and health for individuals and families.
We continue to sharpen our focus by building initiatives like Stepping Forward Works, to expand training
opportunities for people who want to work, and our EITC (Educational Income Tax Credit) Scholarship Program
which is coming together to fund Pre-K access for children of working families. We’re working closely with
Leadership Franklin County teams to create mentoring opportunities and to expand the reach of the 211 call
system, which provides information and referral services across our community and throughout Pennsylvania
and the nation. Our volunteers can be seen in every community of Franklin County with efforts like Stuff the
Bus, the Martin Luther King Food Drive and May of Caring. We continue to be recognized for our campaign,
which was supported by over 3,000 people and over 150 local companies and raised funds to help sustain 32
programs in 2014-2015. Those programs directly and positively impact the lives of more than 62,000 people
who live in Franklin County.
We remain committed to accountability and transparency with this publication of our Annual Report. Our
website is a storehouse of information about United Way and the communities we serve. Please visit www.
uwfcpa.org to learn more. We’re proud to share this report with you, and invite you to know us better. Your
continued support through giving, advocating and volunteering will help us expand our reach into the future.

President, Board of Directors

Executive Director
Three basic building blocks are essential to creating and enjoying a good life.
A quality education, a stable job, income that can support an
individual or family through retirement, and good health and
well being. When you support United Way—with your financial
gift, your voice or your time — you create opportunities for a
better life for all of us who call Franklin County home.
Here is a snapshot of the work accomplished through
United Way in 2014.
Early Childhood
United Way has been working to increase opportunities for quality early childhood learning.
Our Early Childhood Partnership is a network of professionals that specialize in serving families of young children, and
meets regularly to share information about topics of concern in a pre-K environment such as transitions, helping parents
understand behavior, and helping bridge transitions between health and education providers.
Working in tangent is a Parent Engagement Committee that is exploring innovative ways for reaching parents where they
live and work so that information can be shared more effectively by providers in a way that better meets the needs of busy
families.
In an effort to provide tangible support for families and programs, United Way of Franklin County became a Pre-K
Scholarship Program in 2014, which allows companies to support quality Pre-Kindergarten programs through the
Pennsylvania Education Improvement Tax Credit Program. As a result of EITC, United Way of Franklin County will be able
to provide $30,000 in scholarship funding to 3 and 4 year olds entering qualified pre-K programs in Franklin County.
United Way is working to connect parents and families, providers and educators in new ways so that children can be given
new opportunities to access reading and education at an early age and get excited about lifelong learning.
Thanks to the following companies for providing PreK Scholarships through the
Education Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) Program in 2014:
BHC Holdings, Inc.
CHR Corporation- Rutters
Capital Advantage Insurance Company
Susquehanna Bank
Stepping Forward Works
Developed by the Franklin County Prosperity Committee, the program is based on industry
requests for a reliable employee pool and modeled after the successful Cincinnati Works
Program.
The Prosperity Committee, made up of individuals representing the Greater
Chambersburg Chamber of Commerce, the United Way of Franklin County, the Franklin
County Area Development Corporation, the Franklin County Board of Commissioners,
school representatives, industry leaders, and community leaders, placed the Stepping
Forward Works program responsibility in the hands of the United Way.
During program training, individuals are coached on resume building, interviewing,
expectations in the work culture and budgeting prior to being placed before industry
human resource representatives for interviews.
United Way is expanding the reach of this program by partnering with a team from
Leadership Franklin County to develop a mentorship group that will help guide graduates
of the Stepping Forward Works program as they enter the workforce and experience
the daily demands of the job. This program will provide experienced workers with the
opportunity to impact the life of a newer worker.
Thanks to the following companies for providing financial
support for Stepping Forward Works in 2014:
CSX
LIU12
Donald B. & Dorothy L. Stabler Foundation
Target
PA 211
United Way has begun working with Contact Helpline to improve the
connectivitiy of 211 in Franklin County. 211 is an Information and Referral
Line, supported by county government and other community providers, that
connects people to trained listeners and information about services available
in Franklin County.
In 2014 United Way teamed with Leadership Franklin County to raise
awarenss about access to 211 and to work with local agencies to improve the
information database that supports the system for Franklin County.
United Way is also working with community agencies to increase the level of
knowledge about utilizing 211 across Franklin County so that connectivity to
services continues to strengthen.
Investment of Resources
EDUCATION
United Way of Franklin County allocates program funding, equally, to three priority areas in order to provide
stability for families in our community. Our investment in community programs ensures that help is available for
families and individuals when they need it most.
At United Way, we believe there is no better investment than education. We see education as a community
responsibility. It takes all of us – parents, teachers and caring adults – to help a child succeed in school and in
life.
INCOME
As many as one-third of working Americans do not earn enough money to meet their basic needs. Wages have
not kept pace with the rising cost of housing, healthcare, and education. Currently, 40 million Americans are
working in low-paying jobs without basic health and retirement benefits. For families walking a financial tightrope, unable to save for college, a home, or retirement, United Way is here to help by supporting programs that
meet basic needs, and by going a step beyond to provide literacy and financial training, as well as job training
and placement.
HEALTH
United Way is working to promote wellness and address healthcare issues that are facing our community. These
issues include access to health care and nutritious food, and working to promote safe neighborhoods. Good
physical and emotional health make it much easier to get an education and hold down a job and cannot be
taken for granted.

United Way invests in programs that serve the community populations of Franklin County. Our goal is
to make the greatest possible impact with the dollars raised. Each year programs are reviewed based
upon their reach into the community and their ability to change lives for the better.
Last year over 59,000 people were served across Franklin County. That’s more than 1 in every 3 lives
in Franklin County.
Volunteer
Franklin County residents prove that volunteerism is not
just an annual fit of holiday goodwill, but volunteering
is a way of life. Individuals are consistently giving their
time and resources to keep nonprofits alive. Volunteers
lead boards, serve in soup kitchens, answer phones,
usher plays, compose proposals and grants, restore
trails, tend to abandoned pets, and perform a host of
other duties. United Way thanks you for volunteering!
In 2014 United Way volunteers contributed at least
4,800 hours to assist with project like the Stone Soup
Food Drive, Stuff the Bus, Bonanza, May of Caring and
Campaign.
Without volunteer labor many nonprofits would close
their doors, cost of doing business in non-profits would
sky-rocket, and many tasks would be left undone.
Thanks to the many invdividuals who give freely of their
time, talent and energy to make the communities of
Franklin County a great place to live and work.
