Imagine your favorite organizations and you all working together

Metro United Way not only helps to fund our area’s charitable organizations, we also work with government agencies and the community at-large, supporting them all with data, matching volunteers with volunteer opportunities, and mobilizing resources when and where they're needed. Like an orchestra’s conductor, we ensure we’re all playing the same tune.

Plan and Prepare

Seldom does anything worthwhile happen without meticulous planning and without goals. Breaking the cycle of poverty is no different. That’s our long-term goal, but until that goal is realized, we’re making sure people have what they need to survive today.

Through our new Farmers Feeding Families program, Metro United Way in Shelby County is focusing on reducing hunger and its associated health issues in our community.
