All money raised in Drew County stays in the community. Through the support of the local community, United Way provides support to organizations that specialize in the specific needs of their community. Our approach brings together volunteers, citizens, local businesses and service providers that positively affect the community’s quality of life. By engaging individuals and companies around giving, advocating and volunteering for these types of issues, we can all work to LIVE UNITED. For more information, go to www.heartaruw.org.
