United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley

United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley fights for the health, safety and education of every person. But, our region also faces challenges.

Together, we’re building a strong community -- where our kids thrive, our seniors are healthy in their own homes and everyone has access to nutritious food. Every day our community is growing and changing -- from the ambitious new development in downtown Allentown to Easton center square to the many thriving suburban and rural areas. United Way has assessed the needs and is devoted to rallying our

community around these challenges and turning them into opportunities for everyone living, working and learning here. When one of us wins, we all win. We are committed to serving you and everyone in this community.

Some people have a gift for bringing others together and making a difference feel possible. Hannah Votta Coleman is one of those people 💙

As Founder and Executive Director of Joyful Giving, Hannah has turned a simple belief that everyone deserves to feel seen, valued, and cared for into a movement rooted in generosity. Through thousands of Joy Maker Bags and countless volunteer opportunities, she has inspired people across the Greater Lehigh Valley to experience the joy that comes from giving.

Hannah reminds us that philanthropy can take many forms. Whether giving time, talents, resources, or simply showing up for a neighbor, every act of generosity matters.

We remember and honor Camilla Greene, a lifelong advocate for educational equity and a dedicated champion for children, families and communities.

Camilla led with purpose and compassion. As an educator, mentor and advocate for justice, she challenged systems, fostered understanding and never stopped believing in the potential of every person. Her commitment to creating greater equity and opportunity leaves a lasting impact on our community and the many lives she touched.

While we mourn her loss, we celebrate a life defined by service, humanity and a deep commitment to others. With peace and love to you, Ms. Camilla 💙

We invite those who knew Camilla or were touched by her work to share a memory or remembrance in the comments below.
