United Way of Miami County celebrating lasting legacy

MIAMI COUNTY, IN- For the past 65 years, the United Way has created a lasting legacy in Miami County. In 2021, we assisted 33,831 members of our community with critical services and initiatives focused on food insecurity, mental health, education, homelessness, domestic abuse, addiction, and community safety. We expect the number of people in need to be even greater this year given inflation and the lingering impact of the pandemic.

You can strengthen our community impact by sponsoring our events, donating an auction item for the Sapphire Gala on August 6, or hosting a campaign drive for your employees.
