United Way of East Central Iowa is collaborating with our community partners to meet the emerging needs of those most impacted by the disasters affecting East Central Iowans.

Thank you for stepping forward to fight for those in our communities affected by the disasters in our area: the COVID-19 pandemic & August’s derecho storm damage. We can’t do this alone. Every dollar counts and is greatly appreciated. Together, we will stand united for those in our community who need our help. Give Today!

UWECI’s Disaster Recovery Fund will be used to address and support the emerging needs of the most vulnerable individuals in our community through funding local health and human service nonprofits who have increased programs and services surrounding this pandemic and for relief for those affected by the derecho storm. Some examples include food, medicine replacements, and sheltering services.
