Since 1952, We Have Been Building A Strong Local Community
More than fundraising
The Mecosta-Osceola United Way is an independent member of United Way Worldwide. When you help us fight for the success of our community, we put your investment to work in local community. We do this by bringing together local and national businesses, nonprofits, government, and civic- and faith-based organizations, along with educators, labor leaders, health providers, senior citizens, young leaders and other influencers.
We go beyond single-issue and temporary fixes. Our comprehensive approach focuses on health, education and financial stability—the building blocks for a better life and a stronger community. We create lasting change that benefits everyone living in Mecosta and Osceola County.
In today’s world of partisan politics, we’re nonpartisan. We work with everyone to solve problems and advance good policy.
