Serving Those Who Served Our Country                                   

MISSION UNITED

Mission United is a critical funding source for programs of United Way of Long Island supporting U.S. military veterans and their families. Mission United funding helps provide services and resources in career training, employment assistance and emergency financial aid. Through Mission United, United Way is aligning existing services and creating solutions where there are gaps in support. The need for these services is particularly significant on Long Island as there are more than 80,000 veterans living in our communities.

Thanks to a generous contribution from the Bob Woodruff Foundation.

VETSBUILD

VetsBuild, a signature program of United Way of Long Island's Mission United, is dedicated to the support of veterans and their families in our community. Many veterans on Long Island struggle to find a career path that will lead to financial independence. VetsBuild represents United Way of Long Island's commitment to addressing this problem by providing job training in the green energy construction field for our local heroes. View program details.
