WFUV is supported by a community of smart, curious, caring people. At the same time, at WFUV we're committed to supporting community organizations doing good work in the New York metropolitan area.

As a way to bring important issues into focus, we spotlight a particular issue every quarter. It might be health care, the homeless, or veterans affairs. You'll hear Cityscape programs and news features that address those issues. You'll hear public service announcements for local organizations dealing with them. You may even hear about events or forums that WFUV will be co-sponsoring. By focusing our time and resources on a theme, we hope we can help make a difference.

WFUV's volunteer Community Advisory Board is contributing their ideas and contacts to our public service campaigns. If you have any suggestions for themes or would like your community organization to be considered, please contact cab@wfuv.org.

We'd love your input!

Affordable Housing

The recession has affected people in different ways. Some have had to choose between paying for food or rent. Others have had to leave their homes. When you don't have a place to call home, every aspect of daily life can be a struggle. Help provide healthy, safe and affordable homes for working families by offering your precious time or much-needed funds.
