Schuylkill United Way Launches “United We Dine Week” to Kick Off 2026 Campaign

As the Schuylkill United Way (SUW) begins its 2026 annual campaign and celebrates 90 years of serving Schuylkill County, the organization is introducing a new community initiative: “United We Dine Week.”

Running Friday, September 5 through Sunday, September 14, the promotion actually spans ten days and invites residents to dine out at participating local establishments, with each location pledging a portion of sales to benefit SUW’s campaign.

“We are hoping people will use this as a reason to go out and try new things, and because of that to become more aware of Schuylkill United Way and the important work that our 15 partner Agencies do in Schuylkill County,” said Kelly Malone, SUW Executive Director.

Obviously, we hope people support them during ‘United We Dine Week.’”
