WELCOME

For over the past 50 years the United Way has been building a better and stronger Salem County. Our mission can be described in two simple words: LIVE UNITED!

To LIVE UNITED means to work together to create positive, lasting change in our community; change that results in people having access to quality healthcare, children making healthy choices and being ready for school, those in need having access to basic needs and services, and a senior population that is strong and vibrant.

Our goals are to address the needs in our community, to create long-lasting changes that prevent problems from happening in the first place. We invite everyone to be part of the change. Together, united, we can inspire hope and create opportunities for a better tomorrow.

The FamilyWize Prescription Drug Discount Card enables you to receive discounted pricing on prescription drugs. This is not insurance. Rather, it is a program that offers immediate discounts on prescription drugs at participating pharmacies. Simply present your card with each prescription from your doctor to the participating pharmacy at the time of purchase to receive your discounts. If you need to transfer a prescription, bring your empty prescription bottle or label with you to the pharmacy.

Save an average of 20% off the pharmacy's usual and customary retail price of prescription drugs, with the highest savings on generic drugs.

Your cost for medication will be the discount price offered through this program, or the pharmacy's usual and customary retail price, whichever is lower. This means you are assured the lowest price in that store, at the time you purchase the medication. If the pharmacy's price is lower, there is no savings or discount.

Check out the Savings below! For more information check out the What's New Page or FamilyWize.org

The United Way is recruiting volunteer tax preparers, greeters and site assistants to help working families obtain this free service. No prior tax experience is necessary.

Who are these volunteers?  People just like you – retirees, college students, law students, homemakers, as well as members of volunteer, civic or community organizations, and businessmen and women. The training is available at no cost to volunteers willing to commit to this service.

The training and certification materials necessary to prepare basic and intermediate income tax returns will be provided by IRS, state and volunteer instructors. A training session is scheduled on January 24th and 25th at the United Way office located at 203 E. Broadway in Salem.  The volunteers then take an online open book test to be certified by the IRS before they are able to prepare returns.

Volunteers will help families and individuals who are considered low-to-moderate wage earners by screening for services, preparing their taxes, and making sure they receive all the tax credits for which they qualify. The United Way office serves as  the site for this service with appointments Monday through Thursday and select Saturdays.

Volunteers will be able to have flexible schedules and donate as much or as little time as they have available for this program from February 1st through April 15th.
