Who We Are

Underneath everything we are, underneath everything we do,
We are all people.
Connected. Interdependent. United.
And when we reach out a hand to one,
we influence the condition of all.
That's what it means to live united.

United way is about advancing the common good. By working together, we
can create opportunities for every person in our community to reach their full
potential. In the Heart of Missouri, we are doing that by focusing on three building
blocks for a good life:

Successful children, youth and families.
Access to Health care and Financial stability resources.
Independent and productive seniors.

Our ultimate goal is not only to treat immediate needs in these three areas, but to create long-lasting changes that prevent problems for our community from happening.

Underneath it all, this isn't just good for the people United Way helps. It is good for you, for your family and neighbors, your employees and your community as a whole. Because when children succeed in school, when hungry people are healthy and fed, when seniors can support themselves and give back to the community, we all win.

Be a part of the change

Together, we can accomplish more than any one person or organization could do alone. When you support your Heart of Missouri United Way, we combine your gift with others and leverage total dollars donated to bring even more state and federal money to our community, making an even greater impact.

You can be sure your gift to United Way is well-spent. Our community volunteers work year-round to make sure of it.
