Our Mission, Your Impact
Our mission remains the same today as it did with our local founders in 1955. We unite people, resources and funding to help build strong and equitable communities, where everyone can thrive in the areas of health, education, financial stability, and basic needs. By banding together, giving collectively, working as one, we can help all. This infrastructure ensures we are there for those who need help now, and those who may need it in the future. This is more than a campaign; United Way is a cause.
With the support of our donors, United Way has committed $422,103 to support our Northeast Arkansas community through funding the following programs and partnerships in 2024, as well as additional community projects.
