What is United Way of the Midlands?
We are a local charitable organization creating generational change in the Midlands.
Unlike smaller nonprofits who often have a very defined focus, we take a multifaceted approach to some of the biggest problems facing our society. Problems like homelessness, children's literacy, and lack of access to healthcare. By addressing these core issues, we break cycles of crisis and empower people to build their own paths to success.
