Our Mission
The United Way of South Central Missouri will provide responsible and responsive fundraising leadership to the health and human service agencies serving the citizens of the South Central Missouri region.
LIVE UNITED - What it Means
LIVE UNITED is about taking action - responsible actions that benefit not only us, but our neighbors as well. When we reach out a hand to one, we influence the common good for all.
Bringing people together to advance the common good.
United Way was built on the belief that together, we can accomplish more than any individual or organization can alone.
United Way of South Central Missouri is a locally run chapter of the United Way Worldwide umbrella organization. Each United Way operates independently and is locally governed. A volunteer Board of Directors oversees our strategic direction and steers our financial decisions. United Way of South Central Missouri serves a 4 county area comprising of Dent, Maries, Phelps and Pulaski counties.
We help and collaborate with local nonprofit agencies, providing financial, volunteer and advocacy support, and we review these agencies each year to ensure they do the best possible work in the community.
The United Way of South Central Missouri raises funds through workplace campaigns, community supported events and individual donors. During the more than 50 years United Way of South Central Missouri has been part of the community; many thousands of individuals have contributed to United Way.
