Nearly 6,500 neighbors throughout Erie County will spend some quality time with each other on Tuesday, Aug. 6 thanks to United Way of Erie County.
United Way’s support of National Night Out dates back to 2004 and, since that time, funding has been provided to organizations, neighborhood associations and watch groups annually. This year, 21 collaborative groups have received funding from United Way to celebrate National Night Out.
National Night Out events, nationally sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch, aim to empower local neighborhoods, heighten the awareness of crime prevention and reinforce the spirit of community.
Local Erie County events will include free food, music and games, along with the opportunity to interact with local police and fire departments. More than 6,500 people are expected to attend the various events.
Events funded by United Way of Erie County seek to promote the spirit of community and encourage everyone to play a role in supporting the education of youth in our neighborhoods.
