Addressing crucial needs today for a better tomorrow.

Community Resiliency

Every community deserves the opportunity to prosper.

United is the Way

At United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties (UWMOC), we work with our neighbors to build resilient communities that are more connected, supportive and ready to respond to any challenge. When facing a crisis, individuals and families need immediate access to reliable services and resources to meet their urgent needs. Together, we are strengthening the foundations of communities for a more sustainable and secure future. United is the Way our community thrives, today and tomorrow.

Project Spotlight: NJ 211

No one should face a crisis alone. The NJ 211 helpline supported by UWMOC helps people meet emergency and everyday needs. When people in our community need help with housing, utilities, food or mental health, NJ 211 is just a call or click away, with support in over 180 languages, 24/7/365.

Together we offer immediate guidance and support, ensuring our communities are never alone in their hour of need.
