20 Broad Street

United Way of Greater Nashua is a non-profit organization that seeks to advance the common good in the community by focusing on the building blocks of a good life: a quality education that leads to a stable job; enough income to support a family through retirement; and good health.

We invite you to LIVE UNITED. Whether you GIVE, ADVOCATE, or VOLUNTEER, you can make a difference in our community.

United Way seeks to improve people's lives by creating lasting changes in conditions that affect the 11 communities in its service area. United Way collaborates with local businesses, government, nonprofits, faith-based groups, and individuals to define and address the most pressing problems. At the same time, United Way helps area residents meet basic health and human service needs by supporting innovative programs that have positive, measurable outcomes.

Founded in 1929, United Way of Greater Nashua serves Amherst, Brookline, Hollis, Hudson, Litchfield, Lyndeborough, Merrimack, Milford, Mont Vernon, Nashua, and Wilton.
