Crisis Response

Did You Know?

Every day our United Way receives calls seeking help for Dutchess and Orange County families, individuals and students facing a financial crisis. Help is needed accessing food, preventing eviction, securing transportation to work, filling prescriptions and other basic needs.

Only 44% of U.S. adults would be able to pay an emergency expense of $1,000 or more from their savings.

With your help, United Way’s Crisis Response can continue to prevent one small crisis becoming a financial catastrophe.
