United Way of Greater New Bedford

Lavolta Depina, a single mother from New Bedford, is fighting to get back on her feet after struggling with open-heart surgery.

Bobby Sylvia, Michelle and their three kids Jordan, Layla and Gabby were gifted with something money can't buy this morning – a second chance.

On August 25th, Laurie Sylvia of Fairhaven passed away after contracting EEE (Eastern Equine Encephalitis) just eight days prior.

Thanks to the generosity of you, our listeners, and the help from our local advertisers, we were able to raise over $5,000 to help Kelly and her family.

Kelly is a single mom from New Bedford with two kids going through a lot right now.

What a great feeling to know that 'Papa' Gracia and his two children will be spending Christmas together with help from the SouthCoast community.

The Gracia Family is currently in a homeless situation and unfortunately not all living together.

Three hundred volunteers assembled 1,000 donated Thanksgiving baskets today at Keith Middle School New Bedford.

Families volunteer together on National Family Volunteer Day, to help give other families a happy Thanksgiving.

Thanks to wonderful members of our community, we were able to collect thousands of pounds of food for families in need this holiday season.
