NewsTri-County United Way & Network of Partner Agencies Mobilize to Support Families During Government Shutdown
Glens Falls, NY — Thursday, October 30 2025 — At Tri-County United Way, we stand united with our neighbors during this challenging time. The ongoing federal government shutdown has created uncertainty for many in our service area and we understand how deeply it can affect families who rely on essential programs like SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program).
If you or someone you know needs support, our free local Resource Guide can help connect you with food, housing, and essential services right here in our community. Click HERE to access our Resource Guide.
Tri-County United Way believes no one should face these challenges alone. Tri-County United Way has created a Food & Holiday Resources Guide, a comprehensive list of local programs and services supported by Tri-County United Way throughout Warren, Washington, and Saratoga Counties. This guide helps individuals and families find the help they need this season and beyond. Download our full Holiday Resource Guide.
As federal funding remains uncertain, we want our communities to know that Tri-County United Way is here to offer support, connection and hope for those who need it most.
