United Way of Southeast Missouri

Call Directions Website

United Way of Southeast Missouri United Way of Southeast Missouri unites people and resources to move individuals and families from striving to thriving. Sometimes, we even save them.

United Way of Southeast Missouri (UWSEMO) has evolved from a safety net for those in need to a powerful network of partners and programs lifting up everyone in the four counties we serve: Cape Girardeau, Perry, Bollinger, and northern Scott. We still provide funding for urgent needs, but more importantly, we collaborate with our partners to change the situation or behavior causing the need. With financial and volunteer support of workplaces and individual donors, together we change lives. Will you join our fight for the health, education, and financial stability of everyone? https://www.unitedwayofsemo.org/

What a wonderful way to start the morning! We loved spending time with the residents of Chateau Girardeau sharing more about our mission, showing a little glimpse of what we do, and, most importantly, enjoying time together. 💙

Thank you for welcoming us and giving us the opportunity to connect with such a wonderful group!

Every child deserves the opportunity to grow, learn, and thrive. But for some families, meeting a child’s basic needs while navigating barriers to a brighter future can be a daily challenge.

Last year, UWSEMO’s network of funded partners served 3,252 children across our communities. Together, these children received meals, safe housing, mentorship, education, health services, advocacy, and so much more.

No single organization can meet every need a child may face. That’s why our network matters. By bringing community partners together across our four impact areas, Youth Opportunity, Healthy Communities, Financial Security, and Community Resilience, we can address immediate needs while working to prevent the barriers that stand in the way of a child’s future.

This , your generosity makes that collective impact possible. Give today to help more children and families move from surviving to thriving.

For many, the holidays are a joyful time filled with laughter, good food, and familiar faces. But for families already struggling to make ends meet, this season can bring even more stress. No one should have to choose between putting food on the table and paying the electric bill, yet many of our neighbors face that reality every day.

Last year, United Way of Southeast Missouri’s network helped more than 16,000 individuals and families access the support and resources they needed to build greater stability.

This , your generosity can help us reach even more neighbors with the support they need to move from surviving to thriving. Every gift makes a difference, and together, we can make the holidays a little brighter for families across Southeast Missouri.

UWSEMO has a new website!

Thank you to Austin with B&B Media and UWSEMO's Marketing & Communications Specialist, Ciera, for managing this project! We are thrilled with our new site and hope our partners, donors, and community enjoy it as much as we do.

💙 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐛𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥!

We're excited to celebrate the launch of the newly redesigned website for United Way of Southeast Missouri !

United Way was one of B&B Media's very first clients, and nearly five years after building their previous website, we've had the privilege of doing it all over again!

As we celebrate six years in business, getting to rebuild a website for one of the organizations that believed in us from the beginning feels pretty special.

𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐖𝐚𝐲, for your continued trust and for allowing us to be a small part of the incredible work you do in our community. 💙

Here's to another exciting chapter!
