April 2025

Mark your calendars! The Annual Meeting and Volunteer Recognition is coming up, and we’d love to have you join us! It’s a chance to look back at everything we accomplished together in 2024 and to celebrate the volunteers from our partner agencies who made a big impact this past year. Come be part of the gratitude, the stories, and the excitement for what’s ahead!

Last month we had a chance to head to Wisconsin for the Great Rivers Conference. What an incredible opportunity to hear from our CEO, meet other United Way teams with amazing ideas, and learn some new strategies to serve our community. Stay tuned for some fun things coming your way!

Lay out your outfit for Friday!

Let’s turn our community blue this Friday, April 4th! April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, and wearing blue is one simple way to show you care about the safety and well-being of children. Snap a photo, spread the word, and invite your friends, schools, and businesses to join in. Every blue shirt, pinwheel, and conversation gets us one step closer to our ultimate goal: prevention and thriving families.
