Workplace Campaigns

United Way of East Central Iowa’s workplace campaigns unite organizations and companies to work together in addressing our community’s top needs. We believe strong communities don’t happen by accident. They are built when people come together and help one another to transform East Central Iowa and change the story for neighbors and friends.
