United Way turns your single charitable donation into a true community-building gift. Find out how you can participate!

How can you make a single contribution, and help our whole community?  By donating to United Way.

The United Way of the Midlands annual campaign is the metro area's single largest fundraising drive. More than 1,000 organizations and 80,000 donors participate in the campaign; it supports more than 145 vital health and human service programs in United Way's Community Care Fund,  a "safety net" of services for the people of Douglas and Sarpy Counties in Nebraska and Pottawattamie County in Iowa.

The United Way of the Midlands Campaign runs from late August through the first week in November each year.

It is an important part of the LIVE UNITED experience...so we can all make a lasting impact on the strength of our community!

With partners old-and-new, United Way focuses on the building blocks of a good life in the Omaha-Council Bluffs-Bellevue metro: a quality education, a stable income, and good health.

Your United Way donation also supports the 2-1-1 hotline. Callers dial that number 24 hours a day, to connect with the available local programs that might best meet their specific needs: rent or utility bill help, finding support groups, locating child care/senior services and more. 

In addition, United Way connects people with meaningful community service projects, through the Volunteer Resource Center.  

(If your employer does not run a United Way drive, and like to make an on-line contribution, look for the "Make a Donation" button at the bottom of the page!)
