United Way of Southeast Missouri

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 f

inancial 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/

Affordable child care is a growing challenge for families across the country, and Missouri is no exception. Thousands of Missouri children are currently waiting for childcare assistance, leaving families searching for ways to balance work, finances, and care.

Through United for Childcare, UWSEMO helps families navigate child care resources and find support that works for their needs.

Because when families have access to reliable child care, parents can stay in the workforce, businesses can retain employees, and children can thrive.

What will your legacy say?

Make-A-Will Month is a reminder that you don't have to wait to start planning for the future. Through our partnership with FreeWill, you can create a free, legal will and make thoughtful plans for the people and causes you care about.

For some, that includes leaving a gift to a nonprofit that has made a difference in their lives or community. If United Way of Southeast Missouri is one of the causes you care about, we hope you'll keep us in mind as you plan your legacy.

Because the choices we make today can help build a stronger Southeast Missouri for generations to come. Visit our website to learn more.

Child care is more than a convenience. It helps families work, businesses keep employees, and communities thrive.

Through our United for Childcare Resource Center, United Way of Southeast Missouri helps families navigate child care resources and find support that works for their needs.

When families can access reliable child care, parents can stay in the workforce, children can build a strong foundation, and employers can retain the people they depend on.

Together, we can help Southeast Missouri families move from surviving to thriving.
