Every Spark Creates Generational Change

Every big change begins with a spark. A single volunteer hour. A box of school supplies delivered. A meal shared with care. Alone, these actions matter. But when they flow together, they become a current strong enough to transform neighborhoods, schools, and families.

At United Way of the Midlands, we believe in the "and": we meet urgent needs and build long-term systems. We hand out meals and help families secure housing. We provide books and pathways to college and careers. People deserve both-tools for today and opportunities for the future.

Because of this collective effort:

  • More students are receiving school supplies that help them thrive in the classroom.

  • More families gain access to food, hygiene kits, and essentials to support daily life.

  • Communities become stronger, more resilient, and ready to respond when crises hit.

  • Nonprofits gain the people power and resources they need to grow programs and multiply their impact.

Your monthly gift makes you a Community Impact Builder. It ensures that year-round programs continue meeting critical needs, volunteers stay connected and ready to serve, and every contribution multiplies the value of service across the Midlands.

Together, Community Impact Builders help replace cycles of crisis with cycles of opportunity. They are lighting the way for students, families, and neighbors-building stronger communities and creating generational success.

Join us. Give monthly and be part of the current of change that transforms the Midlands.

Because here in the Midlands: every spark counts, every hour matters, and every gift keeps the current flowing.
