Working for Worcester, a student-run nonprofit started at Holy Cross, raised $23,240.59 for the Worcester Together COVID-19 emergency response fund, the group announced in a joint press release with United Way of Central Massachusetts on Wednesday.

The money was raised over the course of a five-day fundraising blitz among the organization's peers and alumni. The effort ran from March 24 to Sunday.

United Way of Central Mass. co-established the Worcester Together Fund with The Greater Worcester Community Foundation and the City of Worcester. Money collected will be used to help provide short-term emergency needs like food and shelter, as well as to support organizations working with populations most vulnerable to the COVID-19 pandemic's long-term effects.

The fund has raised more than $2.75 million to date, according to United Way.
