United Way

The United Way of Southeast Missouri serves as the leader in uniting people with resources to build a stronger and healthier community.

Our focus is education, income and health; necessities for a good quality of life.

United Way has been studying education in our area and challenges students face to graduate from high school and prepare for college, trade school or work. We are poised to introduce our findings to the community in March. Education is the responsibility of every individual in our community.

Following that work, we begin a study of our income focus to help us understand how we can best help families become self-sufficient in the future while helping them meet their basic needs.

United Way continues to be a strong fundraising organization, investing more than $1 million in local communities each year, supporting programs with proven results.

The unique role of United Way is to recruit people and organizations from all across the community who bring passion, expertise, and resources to get things done. We are a convener, collaborator, leader, partner, connector, and an organization that truly cares about families in our community.

Be part of the change, by giving, advocating, or volunteering. That's what it means to LIVE UNITED.
