With your gift, you’ll change lives, helping students succeed in school, adults secure jobs, neighbors stay healthy, and those in crisis address their most urgent needs today. Your support fuels our mission and creates a stronger community where all can thrive. Donate now. 

YOUR GIVING GOES FURTHER WITH UNITED WAY

We leverage volunteers, donated goods, grants, and resources to more than DOUBLE the impact of your gift. Our comprehensive approach means when you team up with us, your generosity has a greater impact:

$1 Donation = $2.41 Worth of Impact

That means your $50 gift generates $120 in real help for our neighbors right here in south-central Kansas!

IMPACT CREATED BY YOUR DONATION

United Way brings local ideas, people and resources together to make sure everyone – especially the most vulnerable – has the opportunity to thrive. Last year, with the help of partners, volunteers and donors like you, we generated more than 1 MILLION acts of generosity, including:
