“I’m delighted we have not one, not two, but three individuals who have stepped up to lead the charge to help raise dollars in support of health and human services provided by our nonprofit community,” said Paula S.

“I’m honored to lead this year’s United Way Community Campaign in the Windham region,” said Nadeau. “With the community’s support, more children and youth will succeed in school and more families will achieve financial security, lead healthier lives and have access to critical basic needs services.”

“I look forward to continuing Greater New Britain and Berlin’s long-standing partnership with United Way,” said Stewart. “United Way cares about what you and I care about, and they’re going to take a stand for it right along with us.”

“We have such a talented and dedicated business community in the Greater Hartford Region, which makes me all the more proud to serve as Tri-Chair of this year’s United Way Community Campaign,” said Griebel. “United Way’s campaign theme this year is ‘Finding the Best Way’ and Diane, Tim and I intend to do just that to raise the dollars needed by our nonprofit partners.”

United Way of Central and Northeastern Connecticut’s Community Campaign offers individuals an opportunity to give to qualified nonprofit agencies. Contributions directed specifically to United Way are used to support local programs, services and initiatives that focus on preparing children and youth for academic success, connecting people with good jobs, access to health services, and providing immediate, emergency assistance such as food and shelter.
