About the Norwalk Area United Fund

The Norwalk Area United Fund has been grounded in service to the Monroeville, Norwalk, and Wakeman communities since 1877. A group of women wanted to help neighbors in need. They realized that a bit of assistance in a time of crisis could prevent further problems from happening. They also held the belief that people had the right to certain basic necessities and in leading lives with dignity.

That same philosophy and compassion guides the Norwalk Area United Fund today. We serve by connecting people with needed resources and focusing on the greater good of the community. 

At our core, we raise funds that support programs that assist individuals and families and help change lives. We support programs that educate, care for the health and well-being of our community members, and support our neighbors in times of crisis.
