A MESSAGE TO OUR COMMUNITY
As United Way of Wapello County, we have been seriously weighing the health risks and safety of our community members, volunteers, and staff versus the community’s need for the services we provide and the initiatives we partner on in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
We are closely monitoring the situation and will make decisions based on the recommendations from the CDC, Public Health, and other entities. That said, the need to serve our community still exists- possibly now more than ever. We are committed to fighting for the health, education, and financial stability of every member of our community in the effort to LIVE UNITED.
We will use this page, social media, and emails in the following days and weeks to share resources and highlight volunteer opportunities available to help in this effort.
This is a scary time for many, but we are committed to standing together and serving our community.
