On Monday, October 25, United Way of Southeast Missouri (UWSEMO) received a generous donation of diapers from Proctor and Gamble to help struggling families in Southeast Missouri. United Way will distribute the diapers as an incentive for those who attend and participate in their upcoming Community Conversations.

Community Conversations are open forums to help UWSEMO identify the needs and gaps the United Way network can collectively tackle in each community. The information will help guide the volunteers who determine which organizations they will invest in with their next funding cycle beginning in July of 2022.

All are welcome and encouraged to participate and receive free diapers in exchange for insight into how the United Way network can help improve the lives of everyone in the communities of Bollinger, Cape Girardeau, Perry, and northern Scott counties. A Community Conversation will be held in each of the four counties UWSEMO serves, with an additional event scheduled in Jackson.

Community Conversations will be held at the following dates and locations:

United Way funded partners The Salvation Army and Habitat for Humanity team up to help transport and store the generous donation of diapers.
