United is the Way!

In support of the 2025-2026 Yale-United Way campaign, YPPS is re-energizing our Shred Bag program, and we need YOUR help to take it to the next level! This year-round program fuels crucial support for the Greater New Haven United Way, and we’re counting on YOU to keep the momentum going. Last year, Yale employees gave over $1.4 million to United Way. This year, we want to do it again!  Every contribution makes a vital difference for families in our community. United is The Way!
