The rapid spread of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, is showing critical areas of need for our economy, health care system, and education capacity during a national crisis. Tri-County United Way is focused on the needs in our local community and providing critical, immediate assistance to ensure long-term recovery in Warren, Washington & Northern Saratoga counties.
Wondering how you can do your part? Even though it seems as if we’re more isolated than ever, there are still ways to stay connected, remain united and make a difference in your community. As we struggle to cope with COVID-19, we can also act — to help others.
