The United Way of Van Wert County was established in 1922 to "increase the organized capacity of people to care for one another".

When you give to United Way, your dollars are invested right back into your community. Through the programs funded by the annual campaign drive, you can touch the lives of almost everyone in Van Wert County. Contributions are distributed among the many non-profit organizations which meet the prioritized requirements established yearly by a group of community members.

Our board is a group of dedicated volunteers spend hours investigating each program to assess the validity, necessity, and benefit to the entire community.
