UNITED WAY OF THE OZARKS

A unique partnership formed in 1994 between the Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce and United Way of the Ozarks. The board of directors of both organizations agreed to support a combined capital campaign which would provide the first building owned by United Way and enable the Chamber of Commerce to build a new building... A permanent organization, United Fund, was formed with a newly elected board of directors representing both donors and member agencies... United Way of the Ozarks works every day to improve lives in our community by uniting community support. We invest in programs that form a safety net for families experiencing challenges and focus on education to get up stream on reducing poverty. We connect communities, people and hope.
