We're thrilled to celebrate the launch of a new library at one of New York City Human Resources Administration's Domestic Violence Services shelters in the Bronx, alongside Volunteers of America-Greater New York. This project is part of our Community Library Fund initiative, which works to ensure all communities have access to literacy resources, particularly in areas with limited access to public libraries and bookstores. Thank you New York City Human Resources Administration and Volunteers of America-Greater New York for partnering with us to make this possible. 📚 Learn more about our education equity work: https://lnkd.in/gHFQYmNN

Earlier today, our CEO Grace C. Bonilla, Esq. attended a United Way Policy Briefing at the White House with other United Way leaders, including Angela F.

Leaders from United Way chapters had the opportunity to engage with the Biden-Harris administration on critical issues like housing insecurity, climate change, and workforce programs. Key officials from the administration recognized the impactful work we’re doing in local communities and discussed how we can support their efforts to continuing creating opportunities for working and low-income families.

This past weekend, United Way of New York City concluded the incredible Black Studies: An Education for Me You Bookmobile tour at Lincoln Center’s Summer for the City 2024! 📚🚌 The transformative experience of the Black Studies Bookmobile sparks curiosity and celebrates the vibrant tapestry of Black voices, experiences, and legacies. After going through the bus, young learners, families, and visitors picked out free books by Black authors, illustrators, and stories to take home. This final Bookmobile stop included a focus on the San Juan Hill neighborhood, home to the largest Black population in New York City in the early 1900s, and a conversation with artist Kamau Ware, creator of the digital comic Buffalo Sonnet. Thank you to our Women United volunteers for your support in making the final stop of the #BlackStudiesBookmobile a success. We are grateful to your dedication in uplifting our communities and supporting our work to make education and literacy more accessible for all. Special thanks to #LincolnCenter for hosting this final stop! Did you have a chance to visit the #BlackStudiesBookmobile?

#FlashbackFriday We had a ball at Barclays Center last month, cheering on the New York Liberty with our incredible supporters. 🏀 KKR generously hosted us in their box, where we gathered with partners and friends to watch the stars of the #WNBA in action. Our afternoon included thoughtful discussions about the challenges of achieving pay equity for women across all professions. National Grid treated our team to another exciting game, where we witnessed the Liberty face off against the Chicago Sky in a thrilling matchup. A big thank you to KKR, National Grid, and our supporters and friends for sharing these unforgettable moments and continually backing our mission. #CorporateSocialResponsibility #Philanthropy
