The Community, Planning and Allocations Committee (C-PAC) serves as a link between dollars raised and their return to needed services in our community. The six service panels are structured around agency programs. These panels are:

• Public Policy
• Reaching Families and Individuals
• Independence for the Elderly and Disabled
• Nurturing Families
• Meeting Emergency Needs
• Family & Youth Development

The United Way of Wyoming Valley has the important responsibility of allocating contributor dollars wisely, fairly and effectively. A successful process for allocating funds is based upon several fundamental principles:

• Final decisions about funding should be made by volunteers
• Agencies that receive support must provide needed servicesand be fiscally accountable
• Funds should be awarded fairly
