This week’s highlighted organization: United Way of the Midlands
With many continuing to recover from the pandemic, the demand for services from nonprofit organizations in the Omaha-Council Bluffs metro continues to grow – impacted in large part by the highest rate of inflation in decades. According to the American Community Survey, one in three families in the metro are struggling to make ends meet.
This is in addition to the social injustices people face every day in communities across the metro. These injustices continue to have profound impacts on people’s lives. Without access to equal opportunities, it can be difficult for people to meet their basic needs or grow and thrive.
The United Way of the Midlands recognizes it’s hard for just one person, one company or one nonprofit alone to tackle the challenges people are facing. That’s why they tackle these challenges in a specific way – a “united” way. They aim to maintain their longstanding commitment to addressing social injustice by serving the underserved, as they have for the past 100 years.
Donations to the United Way are invested in basic needs, education and financial stability programs at local nonprofits. Together, these programs form a circle of support for neighbors so they can tackle multiple challenges at once and regain stability during difficult times.
