for the 2026 United Way Campaign

Get ready to kick off this year’s United Way Campaign! Supporting the United Way strengthens our St. Louis region, empowers our community members, and amplifies impact through collective giving. We’re proud to have supported the Greater St. Louis area with you for over 100 years. This year, we’re excited to get together at events, volunteer, and watch the campaign grow while contributing to our community. Join us and the United Way for another year of transforming lives!

This is more than a fundraising campaign. Together we are a movement.

United, we are changing lives. Supporting the United Way strengthens our St. Louis region, empowers our community members, and amplifies impact through collective giving. Join us and the United Way in leveraging our collective strengths to support our St. Louis community.

With your continued support, we can help people live their best possible lives by providing critical support to millions of neighbors, empowering them on their path to success. Pledging is open through October 30th, 2026.

Agency Spotlight
The Macoupin Center for the Developmentally Disabled

The Macoupin Center is a day learning center that serves adults with intellectual disabilities in Macoupin County and surrounding areas.
