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.

1. How long has your business been in operation?

I have owned Bel-Air for ten years. The business existed prior to my ownership as evidenced by the number of couples who come back here to celebrate their first date.

2. What services does your business provide?

We serve food and beverages to those who come to enjoy the environment and each other. What folks may not realize is that we also cater. It was great fun last year when we had the opportunity to cater for the "Gone Girl" crew.

3. What do you enjoy most about being a small business owner?

Owning your own business is a challenge in may ways, however, a real perk is to have the flexibility to meet the needs of 7 year-old twins.

4. What do you love most about this community?

What I love about this community is the number of people who live here who have a giving heart and are willing to contribute to the common good of families in our community.

5. Why do you choose to support your community through United Way?

What I love about supporting the United Way is their ability to serve so many organizations focused on the most important issues families in our community are dealing with.
