United Way of Mifflin-Juniata

Community investment is the process of involving a diverse group of citizens who volunteer their time to determine how to invest donations and resources to meet the most critical needs in the community. Volunteers review agency applications and consider the needs of the community based on a comprehensive assessment, as well as the resources available and which agencies provide quality services that meet community needs. Based on the evaluation, funding is provided to partner agencies. Through this process, the United Way of Mifflin-Juniata also provides leadership ensuring that critical issues are being addressed and emerging needs are met through convening agencies, individuals and businesses.
