VOLUNTEER UNITED PURPOSE

Since 1955, United Way has been serving our Northeast Arkansas community with the help of wonderful volunteers who are living united in their daily lives, while representing their workplace and United Way of Northeast Arkansas. Volunteer United allows community members to stay connected and up-to-date with the mission and work of United Way. When we work together, we have the opportunity to change the future of our community, but it requires collaborative efforts. Joining Volunteer United allows volunteers to have an inside look into our work through volunteering their time at our annual events and as needed throughout the year, helping us make the greatest impact possible.
