Committees

Who decides where the money United Way raises each year goes? Concerned, caring people like you make that decision, and YOU can be one of them by volunteering to serve on our Allocations Review Panel. United Way’s allocations process is a great place to learn about our community, meet interesting and committed people from all walks of life, develop leadership skills and help one in three people in the region. Interested in making a positive difference? Contact Elizabeth Shelton or call 573-334-9634 for information about this volunteer opportunity. Click here to complete our Volunteer Interest Form.
