During the COVID-19 pandemic, United Way of Northern New Jersey Women United volunteers continued to give, advocate, and volunteer to support ALICE families in northern New Jersey. They held virtual fundraisers, ran food drives, and donated holiday gifts to bolster families facing the outsized hardship of this economic and health crisis.

Women United is a global, growing force of 70,000+ women dedicated to creating a world of opportunity - for everyone. We fight for the health, education, and financial stability of every person in every community. Together, we will create lasting change to lift up entire communities.

The highest fundraiser will win a private session with Kara. Whether it’s achieving a career goal or tackling a personal dream, Kara will coach the winner on next steps.

When women leaders join together, their voices, vision, and leadership can have a phenomenal impact. United Way Women’s Leadership Council is an international movement that provides opportunities for women to join forces to transform the lives of women and families in need.
