A Message from the President


My first experience with United Way of Mahaska County was in 2002.  Being new to the community, and not knowing much about United Way, I was happy to serve as a member of the Allocation Review Committee.  Serving on that committee was a wonderful experience.  It opened my eyes to how many individuals in the community I could help by donating my time, and money, to just one organization:  United Way of Mahaska County.

Now, in 2007, I have been a United Way donor and board member for five years.  I’m proud of our continued efforts to make Mahaska County a better place.  Each year we continue to grow, be it through the addition of new agencies like Big Brothers Big Sisters, or services like our winter coat drive that provided more than 500 coats to families in Mahaska County this year.

If you’re reading this, it means you too make an impact in Mahaska County through your donation and support for United Way.  On behalf of all the agencies and individuals we serve, thank you!
