The United Way of Kennebec Valley serves the community by identifying human care needs, raising and allocating funds to meet those needs, and encouraging volunteers to participate in community service. 

Each year the Kennebec Valley Community comes together in many various ways to support the individuals in the following cities and towns: Augusta, Chelsea, Farmingdale, Fayette, Gardiner, Hallowell, Litchfield, Manchester, Monmouth, Pittston, Randolph, Readfield, Richmond, Sidney, South China, Wayne, West Gardiner, Windsor, and Winthrop.

The United Way partners with local high schools and area businesses to sponsor Student Day of Caring. This annual event matches student volunteer groups with work projects at local sites in Southern Kennebec Valley.
