UWM’s funded programs and direct services address social and economic disparities and meet families’ essential needs such as healthy food, safe and stable housing, physical and mental health services, career preparation and job training. With your caring support, we proudly fund a network of health and human service programs that help those in need across Douglas, Sarpy and Pottawattamie counties. United Way works closely with the agencies that host the programs to note measurable results in the lives of their clients. And we collaborate with many individual and corporate donors and foundations to keep the network of hope strong.

We will be informed and accountable. We will skillfully combine passion with reason. We will build up what has fallen and create what should have been here all along. Together, we will create life-changing opportunities through programs that meet the Basic Needs of our most vulnerable population, support children during their academic years and help prepare young people for productive careers. We see what can be, and what should be, because we are community-based and we are community-focused. We are United Way. And we are community strong.

WOW, what an amazing week! JAG Nebraska hosted over 80 staff members for our first-ever All Staff Statewide Training! The training was a resounding success, filled with valuable moments and takeaways. Staff gained valuable insights into the resources available from United Way of the Midlands that can support their efforts throughout the school year. Additionally, staff received resources to integrate into their teaching practices. It was fantastic to see everyone connecting with colleagues, sharing ideas, and building new friendships during the networking opportunities. We are thrilled to embark on the 2024-2025 school year journey together and look forward to the positive impact we will have in the coming year. Thank you all for your participation and enthusiasm!
