As we mark our 55th year of service, we are thrilled to share an exciting update: United Way of Greater Union County (UWGUC) is on a transformative journey to better serve more Union County residents. Thanks to the unwavering support of donors like you, we have moved our administrative offices to Rahway, NJ—a move that symbolizes hope, progress, and community resilience.
Join Us!
On Wednesday, September 18 from 10 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., we invite you to celebrate with us at 219 Central Ave, Rahway, NJ. The ribbon-cutting ceremony at our new home will be a moment of pride, unity and promise. Together, we’ll continue to create lasting change—one life at a time.
Our New Home: A Beacon of Change
The former Elizabethtown Gas Company Building, vacant since 2018, has been revitalized. With the generosity of the City of Rahway and sponsor Wells Fargo, this space houses UWGUC’s administrative offices and a groundbreaking initiative—the United Way of Greater Union County Success Center in Rahway. This center, powered by Wells Fargo, is now a community-based resource hub, offering vital services in utility/rental assistance, workforce development, health, education and family empowerment. It is a place where dreams take root, where lives are transformed and where hope thrives.
A Legacy of Impact
For more than five decades, UWGUC has been a force for good. We’ve mobilized communities, united caring hearts and tackled critical issues head-on. From education to financial stability, from healthy food to housing assistance, we’ve made lasting change possible. Now, our new home in Rahway stands as a testament to our collective achievements—a beacon of hope for generations to come.
Community Pride
Rahway Mayor Raymond A. Giacobbe Jr. shares our excitement. He recognizes that UWGUC’s presence in downtown Rahway is more than a move—it’s an investment in the community. Services will flourish, vibrancy will increase, and the northern end of town will thrive. Together, we’re building a stronger, more resilient Union County.
