The Mission of United Way of Posey County:
To provide visionary leadership to assess community needs, mobilize resources, and direct those resources toward services which enhance quality of life for people living in Posey County.
Advancing the common good is less about helping one person at a time and more about changing systems to help all of us. We are all connected and interdependent. We all win when a child succeeds in school, when families are financially stable, when people are healthy.
United Way’s goal is to create long-lasting changes by addressing the underlying causes of these problems. Living united means being a part of the change. It takes everyone in the community working together to create a brighter future. Give. Advocate. Volunteer. LIVE UNITED.
Super excited and grateful to receive grants from the Posey County Community Foundation and CenterPoint to cover postage for Posey County’s Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library program that we partnered with 4GoodCommunity to supply books for “littles” in our community.
