Today, we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the countless people who responded with courage, compassion, and a commitment to serve.

That spirit of service continues today. Through our partnership with ServMissouri, our AmeriCorps members serve Southeast Missouri families through our United for Childcare program.

As we remember, we honor their legacy by continuing to serve our neighbors and strengthen our communities.

We remember. We honor. We serve.

We had a great time visiting Cape Girardeau West Rotary last week to share more about UWSEMO and the work our network is doing across the communities we serve.

We’re grateful for opportunities to connect with local leaders, share what’s happening in our communities, and talk about how we’re working together to create lasting change.

We’d love to talk with your club or business about the work happening across our network. Email [email protected] to schedule a presentation!

Meeting urgent needs matters, but lasting change means addressing the barriers that create those needs in the first place.

That’s why United Way of Southeast Missouri supports programs that do both. From helping neighbors access food and other essentials to investing in programs that create greater stability and opportunity, we’re working to help individuals and families move from surviving to thriving.

Our partnership with South Side Farms 573 is one example of what’s possible when our community comes together to meet people where they are while creating pathways toward a stronger future.

This Labor Day, we’re celebrating the hardworking people who make Southeast Missouri stronger.

So many of our neighbors choose to give back through their workplaces, making workplace giving one of the largest sources of support for United Way of Southeast Missouri.

To every employee who gives, volunteers, and shows up for our community, thank you for making a difference. Happy Labor Day!

Affordable child care is a growing challenge for families across the country, and Missouri is no exception. Thousands of Missouri children are currently waiting for childcare assistance, leaving families searching for ways to balance work, finances, and care.

Through United for Childcare, UWSEMO helps families navigate child care resources and find support that works for their needs.

Because when families have access to reliable child care, parents can stay in the workforce, businesses can retain employees, and children can thrive.

A big thank you to Commerce Bank for kicking off their employee giving campaign this week and welcoming us to speak with employees in Cape Girardeau and Jackson!

We are grateful for their partnership and for every Commerce Bank employee who chooses to make a difference right here at home!
