This winter, we’re taking a moment to reflect — not just on the season, but on the leadership that has guided Northumberland United Way through the past year.
Executive Director Alicia Vandine joined us a year ago, bringing with her a deep commitment to strengthening our community, fostering relationships, and driving meaningful change. Over the past 12 months, she has:
✅ Reinforced donor and partner relations, ensuring long-term impact
✅ Expanded Northumberland Eats into a micro-grant stream, supporting 24 food banks and food hubs this past December
✅ Streamlined internal systems to improve efficiency and effectiveness
✅ Reignited community connections, ensuring we are working together for lasting change
✅ Developed a strategic plan for 2025, with a clear focus on food security and poverty reduction
Her leadership has transformed our office into a hub of impact and collaboration, ensuring that every initiative is backed by a strong vision.
As we move forward, we’re excited for the next phase of growth and impact under Alicia’s leadership. Thank you to our donors, partners, and supporters — you are all part of this journey. Together we’re making a difference.
