At United Way of Decatur & Mid-Illinois, our board members know that creating lasting change starts with people who care. 💙
Meet Board Secretary Joni Zimmerman, a longtime advocate, volunteer, and champion for our community. For decades, Joni has dedicated her time and talents to helping United Way make a difference in the lives of local families.

Joni's message is simple: "A little goes a long way." Every investment—no matter the size—helps create opportunities, strengthen families, and build a stronger community for all.

"Sometimes people think their contribution is too small to make a difference, but when we all do a little, together we can accomplish a lot."
Thank you, Joni, for your leadership, dedication, and unwavering belief in the power of collective impact.

We had so much fun last night at the BeanBallers game during Nonprofit Night! ⚾

A special shoutout to our very own James Keith for throwing out the first pitch and representing United Way of Decatur & Mid-Illinois so well.

We’re incredibly excited to have the BeanBallers as part of our community and grateful for their support of local nonprofits and community impact initiatives. Events like this are a great reminder of how sports, community, and giving back can all come together to make a difference.

Thank you, BeanBallers, for supporting the organizations working every day to strengthen our community! 💛
