The United Way of Southeast Missouri strengthens families with a focus on education, income and health. LIVE UNITED is our call to action engaging the community to GIVE, ADVOCATE and VOLUNTEER to create a good life for all in our community. Our initiatives include Success by 6, Read to Succeed, and LIFE (Leading and Inspiring Families to Excel). To help the community access existing services, we offer First Call for Help, a telephone help-line for local services; 573-334-HELP. This blog will highlight how the United Way of Southeast Missouri and its funded partners are building a caring community through fundraising, volunteerism, community education and collabortive efforts.
