For over 75 years, the United Way of Jackson County has provided a mechanism for our community to support those in need. Whether you wish to donate needed funding, volunteer your time, or engage in transformational planning efforts, the United Way is the best way to make a meaningful contribution. While long known for our efficient process of collecting donations and supporting essential nonprofits, our role in the community is rapidly evolving; we have "raised the bar" to ensure those nonprofit partners are succeeding and we are now leading the charge to address many pervasive “root causes” of social ills with impressive early results. Guided by informed and thoughtful community members, and supported by thousands of donors, we can achieve great things. Please join us.
