Kids & Families Count
During the COVID pandemic this past year, Metro United Way invested more than $700,000 in emergency support for many nonprofit and school partners in Southern Indiana. While this is significant, there is still so much more to do to ensure all kids and families in Indiana have what they need to thrive.
We address both short-term – COVID relief and recovery – and long-term need in Clark, Floyd and Harrison counties, working to address root causes of issues that negatively affect Hoosiers.
WE CARE ABOUT
SOUTHERN INDIANA.
Here are some of the ways we are seeking to help our community be the best it can be:
-

Build-A-Bed.
Our signature program in Southern Indiana, it’s provided more than 400 Southern Indiana children in need with a bed to call their own.
