Since 1923, United Way of the Midlands has improved lives by mobilizing the caring power of our community. Thanks to generous gifts from local donors and the hard work of committed volunteers, United Way helps to meet today's most urgent human needs, through a network of vital services. But it's just as important to take the next step, to help people make long-term changes in their lives that enable them to become and remain independent, healthy, and financially stable. In taking that step, United Way brings together a variety of companies, nonprofit groups and government agencies to provide life-changing programs that empower the people who use them, and strengthen our entire community. What's most important is to help people make measurable changes in their lives, and make a positive impact on the entire Omaha-Council Bluffs metro area.
