Description
The United Way originated in 1887 when a Denver, Colorado woman, a priest, two ministers, and a rabbi realized that a united front was needed to make Denver a better place. Get to know United Way of Hampshire County
A call to action from “concerned citizens” in 1921 set in motion the birth of United Way of Hampshire County. The goal was to consolidate multiple Northampton fund drives into one to create one Community Chest.
The idea for combining fundraising had originated in Denver in 1887 and had taken local hold in Springfield in 1918. The first Northampton funding raising drive started in the spring of 1922. Others followed in Easthampton and Amherst.
