About Orrville Area United Way: Orrville Area United Way has a long-standing history with the Orrville, Dalton and Marshallville communities. We were incorporated in 1958 as a consolidated annual fundraising organization, however, we have changed from an organization primarily focused on fundraising to an organization primarily focused on getting at the roots of problems. If all we ever do is give out food, we will never empower people to be self-sufficient. While we know we must feed the hungry and provide shelter and clothing in crises, we must, at the same time, work diligently to provide opportunities for individuals and families to thrive, as independently as possible. That is what makes United Way so different from other charities and so valuable – we see the whole picture, and our primary customers are our donors, who invest their time, resources and trust in our organization.
What its Like to Work Here: At Orrville Area United Way, you define your success. We provide the tools, learning, and flexibility so that you can embrace and enjoy your position. We value our community, and the individuals and families who live and work here and are committed to continuously improving our community through programs that support the health and welfare of everyone.
