Kewanee Area United Way drives measurable change in OUR area. As a catalyst for change, our vision is to create a thriving community where adults and children have a path to success. Education, financial stability and healthy outcomes and everything that affects these areas also affects community resilience. These areas are fundamental to a thriving lifestyle, to self-sufficiency and quality of life.
KAUW and its supporting community work to invest in projects, programs, and agencies that build this opportunity for area residents. Strategic management is essential to success. KAUW’s Board of Directors determines just where the rubber meets the road. That is the moment when an abstract idea becomes a practical plan to help a community become resilient.
