United Way of Mower County
In our community, volunteerism is the heartbeat of positive change. Volunteers are the unsung heroes, offering their time, skills, and compassion to uplift others, advocate for social change, and create a safety net for those in need.
Through volunteering, communities become more resilient and are bonded by a shared commitment to the well-being of all members. It fosters a sense of belonging, encouraging people from diverse backgrounds to unite under a common purpose.
United Way of Mower County stands as a guiding light, recognizing their power and making it effortless for individuals to contribute meaningfully. Whether through mentoring, food security initiatives, or various community events, there’s a place for everyone.
United Way’s user-friendly Get Connected platform makes volunteering easy. When we raise our hands together, we embrace the spirit of service and create lasting impact in our community.
We invite you to join us for our annual Days of Caring event. Days of Caring connects compassionate community members with local organizations and individuals in need of a helping hand. Volunteers can choose to participate in a variety of service projects from Oct. 16-21.
