Community Needs Assessment
The Community Needs Assessment is an essential resource for United Way of Cumberland County (UWCC) to better understand the challenges and opportunities within our community. By evaluating these findings, we empower our volunteers and staff to allocate resources strategically and drive initiatives that enhance the quality of life in Cumberland County.
Participants in the survey rate various issues as major, moderate, minor, or not an issue, offering valuable insights into the most pressing concerns affecting our community.
To keep our efforts relevant and impactful, we’ve updated the survey questions based on input from recent focus groups, ensuring we address emerging trends and community priorities.
We are currently in the process of conducting the next Community Needs Assessment. Stay engaged to help us shape a stronger future for Cumberland County!
