United Way of Central Kansas Workplace Campaign
United is the Way.
Every day, people across Barton and Pawnee Counties are working hard, raising families, and doing everything they can to build a better future. Sometimes, all that stands between them and that future is one unexpected expense, one setback, or one barrier.
When our community comes together, we help remove those barriers.
Why Your Workplace Campaign Matters
Nearly half of the households in Barton and Pawnee Counties are ALICE—Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed—or living in poverty.
They're our teachers.
Our coworkers.
The families beside us at the county fair.
The neighbors we've known for years.
They're people we know.
People we care about.
Through your Workplace Campaign, you're helping remove barriers before they become life-changing crises. Whether it's helping a family stay on the road to work, putting books into the hands of young children, preparing students for the future, or supporting our nonprofit partners, your gift stays local and creates real impact across Central Kansas.
What Your Support Makes Possible
Your Workplace Campaign helps United Way of Central Kansas:
- Invest in 18 local nonprofit partners providing food, shelter, childcare, healthcare, financial assistance, and other essential services.
- Deliver Community Impact Programs like Laundry Love, Auto Care Access, Reality U, #RealWorld, Stuff the Bus, Companion Support Bags, Christmas Food Boxes, and Impact Grants.
- Provide books to local children every month through Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, helping build a lifelong love of reading.
- Bring businesses, volunteers, schools, nonprofits, and community members together to solve local challenges.
Together, we're not just funding programs.
We're removing barriers.
Creating opportunities.
And impacting lives.
Workplace Partners Make the Difference
Our Workplace Campaign partners are more than donors—they're community leaders.
Employee giving, corporate support, volunteerism, and workplace champions account for nearly half of United Way of Central Kansas' annual campaign. Every payroll deduction, corporate gift, volunteer hour, and campaign advocate helps strengthen our community.
When one family succeeds...
we all succeed.
