UWCC currently funds thirty three human service agencies and programs that help community members of all ages, strengthening families, supporting the disabled, promoting self sufficiency, and providing food, clothing and shelter. By 6 prepares children to be ready to learn and gives parents the skills they need to help their children succeed for life. In 1997, UWCC purchased a community building located in Prince Frederick to more efficiently and effectively meet the rapidly growing needs of the community. The United Way House is used as central headquarters for the United Way offices but it services the community in many ways. Since its opening in the fall of 1997, the United Way House has become home to six agencies and programs and is used by numerous organizations for meetings, communication and support services.
Discussions are now under way to expand the building.
Believing that volunteerism is the backbone of the community, in 1998 UWCC opened the first and only Volunteer Resource Center in Southern Maryland to provide the community with an efficient system of identifying, recruiting, and training volunteers. Volunteers and local agencies can visit the Volunteer Resource Center, obtain resource information from our resource library and work with our Volunteer Coordinator. UWCC Volunteer Resource Center remains the only volunteer center in Southern Maryland.
