Autumn is among us...

With local students heading back to school, a great start to PSU football, and the sun setting just a few moments earlier each day -- it's clear Fall is on the horizon! The CCUW Women United had a productive summer and is looking forward to great things in the Fall. Read all about it below and in case you missed it take a look back at the August 2023 Newsletter.

2023 Women United Grants

We had eight applications for our grant for new or expanding initiatives that support women and children.


We awarded $6,350 for the Centre County Courthouse Children’s Space to The Makery of Central Pennsylvania and $1,000 to Centre Volunteers in Medicine for their Breast Health Program.

Women's Leadership Group → Women United

We have transitioned from Women’s Leadership Group to Centre County Women United. We continue with our commitment to focus on issues, projects, and programs related to the wellbeing of women and children. With this change, we join with over 70,000 women in over 165 United Way organizations to address specific community needs.
