Thanks to our Volunteers!
| Volunteers across the nation are taking action to create lasting changes in their communities as part of National Volunteer Week from April 15-21. This annual weeklong call to action offers opportunities to thank some of our nation's most valuable assets - our volunteers - and to recognize the many ways they improve our world.
Here at United Way we are extending a big thank you to the men and women whose hard work is making a difference right here in Morris, North Essex, Somerset, Sussex, and Warren counties. Without the hard work and dedication of all of you, our organization would not thrive. Thank you for Living United!
Sincerely,
John Franklin

United Way and FamilyWize Save Residents $850,000 in Prescription Drug Costs
| |
 It seems unimaginable not to fill a prescription that improves your health or treats an illness. And yet, thousands of prescriptions go unfilled annually simply because they are too expensive. United Way is addressing this problem through a partnership with the FamilyWize drug discount card, by cutting the cost of prescriptions by an average of 30 percent.
