Message from the Executive Director

As the Executive Director, I get this question a lot: What does it mean to LIVE UNITED?

It means being a part of the change you want to see in Mahaska County. It means working together to advance the common good, creating opportunities for a better life for all by focusing our resources on programs centered around Education, Income and Health.

We need YOU! Your decision to give to United Way DOES make a difference in Mahaska County!

·         YOU are the reason…why a diabetes patient can afford the medications they need.

·         YOU are the reason…why a family can afford to send their child to preschool.

·         YOU are the reason…why our area food pantries continue to supply food to those in need.

·         YOU are the reason…why support groups are in place for those struggling with domestic violence and homelessness.

·         YOU are the reason…why there is a safety net in place for those in danger of losing their homes.

We recognize that in order to make our county a happier and healthier place to live, we need to focus on the building blocks to a better life-Education, Income and Health.  United Way of Mahaska County is working diligently in 2012 to target those areas of need in our county, to help bring our residents the resources they need to build a brighter future. 

We invite you to join the movement. Together, united, we can inspire hope and create opportunities for a better tomorrow. That’s what it means to LIVE UNITED.
