United Way of Phelps County

United Way of Phelps County (UWPC) helps improve lives and create lasting community change in partnership with local organizations. We do this by funding 22 member agencies that get to the heart of our community problems.

UWPC brings together people from all across the community - people from government, business, faith groups, nonprofits and ordinary citizens to focus on the critical issues we all face. UWPC cares about getting results that no one organization can accomplish alone.

United Way of Phelps County needs contributions from across the community to make things work. Each year Phelps County companies and organizations hold campaigns to allow their employees an opportunity to make an investment in their community. Virtually every family in Phelps County is touched by the United Way in their lifetime, it is no wonder that individuals are donating. They are showing that they are willing to invest in their families, friends, and neighbors. These contributions go to work bringing lasting change in south central Missouri.

These programs are funded through a well-organized allocation process used by our 26 member board of directors. Each agency funded is a volunteer ran, tax-exempt, not for profit organization that meets current human needs in south central Missouri.
