United Way of Millburn-Short Hills

Since 1986, the United Way of Millburn-Short Hills has worked to meet the human and health care needs of the people who live and work right here in town. We do this by first researching the needs of the local community and then developing strategies for providing the resources to the people in need. We partner with over 20 non-profit agencies and provided funding directly to programs that benefit individuals and families, children, the elderly, the sick, disabled and others who may be in the midst of crisis or who are victims of abuse.

Making a Difference in Our Community

Every day, someone in Millburn or Short Hills needs help a friend, neighbor, family member, or an employee. The needs are real. Homebound residents need meals delivered. Domestic abuse victims need shelter, locks changed, and counseling. Children with cancer and blood disorders need healthcare services and transportation to medical facilities. These needs are real and are met through contributions to the United Way of Millburn-Short Hills.
