Families across Virginia’s Blue Ridge are being stretched to their limits. Skyrocketing prices, rising rents, and now the impact of the federal shutdown are putting basic needs out of reach for too many hardworking people.

United Way of Virginia's Blue Ridge has launched the Emergency Relief Fund to provide fast, flexible assistance for families who need help with food, housing, transportation, and utilities.

Our goal: $10,000 a week, October 30-December 2, for a total of $40,000.

You can make a difference — and multiply your impact — by starting your own fundraiser. Create a personal or team page, rally friends and coworkers, and help us build a community of support.

Every dollar matters. Every share helps. Every neighbor counts.
