United Way Worldwide encourages making impacts in our pillars of Education, Income, and Health through three major modalities: Give, Advocate, and Volunteer. Here’s how you can do those things in your own backyard!
Give
Donate through a workplace campaign, attend one of our special events, make a reoccurring gift, or a one-time donation. Want to know more about how you can support Kishwaukee United Way and our 22 partner agencies? Contact us
Advocate
