About One United Lancaster

One United Lancaster is an independent, nonpartisan weekday nonprofit digital news outlet founded and sponsored by United Way of Lancaster County.

Launched in April 2020 as the community’s most comprehensive pandemic-centric information resource, One United Lancaster has evolved into the go-to source of news reporting on local nonprofit, government, and community driven causes. We are dedicated to reporting stories overlooked by larger regional outlets.

You can follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

One United Lancaster is a member of the Pennsylvania NewsMedia Association and operates in accordance with its standards and code of ethics.

Mission

To report the Truth with Context about critical issues affecting the wellbeing of Lancaster residents.

Vision

We will enhance public understanding of local issues with reporting that is objective and fair. We will contribute to a healthy, robust local media ecosystem that promotes responsiveness, transparency, and accountability for public entities. 

While One United Lancaster is editorially independent of United Way of Lancaster County, its founding sponsor, we affirm United Way’s vision of an equitable Lancaster County where every individual has an opportunity to succeed, and the entire community thrives as a result.
