United Way of Northeast Missouri doesn't just address the symptoms of a problem, we want to go deeper and get at the underlying causes of the problem. This helps create long-lasting changes in our community - changes that will ripple out to benefit our entire community, not just one person. When others in our community succeed, we all do. That's how we will advance the common good. The United Way is focused on building a better life through Education, Income, and Health. For 65 years, our mission has been to improve the quality of life in our community by enhancing the organized capacity of people to care in Adair County and beyond.
