United Way of Buffalo & Erie County

To better understand the complex challenges faced by so many due to COVID-19, we partnered with United Way of New York State to build a survey to learn more about the impact of COVID-19 on our community. The results of this survey will help determine the best ways to assist Erie County families and communities as we work together to recover from the COVID-19 crisis. Visit uwbec.org/covid19survey to share your experience.

In order to better understand the needs of local communities during the COVID-19 pandemic, United Ways across New York State are conducting a survey. Consider taking a few minutes to help us using the link below! https://unitedwaynnj.iad1.qualtrics.com//SV_9vhdNG3MzuQdXxP
