United Way of Erie County has proudly sponsored local National Night Out (NNO) events since 2004. In the past, NNO events have taken many forms, including but not limited to block parties, cookouts, parades, visits from emergency personnel, rallies and marches, exhibits, youth events, safety demonstrations and seminars.
We are excited to announce that we will again support National Night Out events. National Night Out 2025 is on Tuesday, August 5.

National Night Out aligns with the prevention portion of the three-pronged Unified Erie Violence Reduction Initiative. Learn more about the Community Action Plan here.
