Why we are doing what we are doing? The United Way of Pettis County is uniquely positioned to identify big community issues and harness both providers and business leaders to address them.

Why Support Continued? 100% of gifts are invested locally United Way of Pettis County brings together donors, community leaders and service providers to tackle big issues together. There is strength in numbers and a variety of experiences. Improving the community in which you live and/or work. You can designate your dollars. Even if you want your gift to be designated outside of Pettis County, this is a benefit to pledging to the United Way. Payroll Deduction-$1.00 or $2.00 per pay period collectively makes a huge impact. A lot easier to give this amount per pay period versus trying to give one lump sum.

What progress have we made?
