We fight for the health, education and financial stability of every person in south central Kansas.
关于我们
At United Way, we’re focused on creating opportunities for all because we know that... ? financial stability is more than just having an income. It’s also about having access to job training and financial counseling. ? a good job starts with a good education. Entering school ready to learn and graduating on time leads to success in work and life. ? a quality life isn’t possible without good health. A neighbor recently diagnosed with cancer, a victim of abuse or someone struggling with mental illness - they all need quality care. We keep tabs on the pulse of the community and look for problems that need solving, people who need help and the local programs that can do the best job. United Way of the Plains helps over 150,000 people in south central Kansas. Who are they? Could be the guy in the cubicle next to you, the boy who sacked your groceries at the store, the elderly woman who walks her dog by your house every day. They’re people like you and me, who live here and need a little help sometimes. But we do more than ask for your money. We ask for your input, conduct research, work with coalitions, write grants, recruit volunteers, distribute in-kind goods and make sure people find the services they need through 2-1-1.

"They say you should walk a mile in someone’s shoes, but sometimes it’s better to just walk?a mile next to them. You don’t have to go through something yourself to show care and?compassion for someone else’s situation,” – Jen McGill, Coordinated Entry System Manager, United Way of the Plains ? This week is Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week, where organizations across the?country raise awareness about these community issues and share ways we can help?support those doing this important work. We're grateful to members of the Coalition to End Homelessness in Wichita/Sedgwick for their work to make homelessness rare, brief and non-recurring for all our neighbors. #hungerandhomelessnessweek #ForceForGood #LiveUnited #TeamUnited #builtforzero #grateful #thankfultuesday

As we head into the holiday season, we want to take a moment to share how thankful we are for our Good360 partnership! ??
As the holidays approach, we are reminded that there are many children who go without the toys they need to spark imagination and, in the case of Good360 nonprofit partner,?United Way of the Plains,?a whole lot of smiles. ? Check out this video?featuring United Way of the Plains giving away toys?contributed?by the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. Over the summer, Toys for Tots provided thousands of children with more than?15,000 toys?through United Way of Plains’?distributions?-- delighting both children and families! ? We at Good360 are so grateful to partner with Toys for Tots to distribute the gifts of joy they so generously provide. ?
