You have the power to create real change in your community. When we come together, we make the Midlands stronger-ensuring everyone has access to education, affordable housing, and healthcare. Your time, effort, and generosity can make a lasting impact.

That’s why United Way of the Midlands is bringing people and resources together for Volunteer Week 2025: United Is the Way. Partnering with 30 organizations across Newberry, Richland, Lexington, and Orangeburg Counties, we’re combining service and giving to maximize our impact.

How You Can Get Involved:

  • Share - Gather a team and choose a volunteer opportunity.

  • Give - Rally your friends, family, and colleagues to raise $100 each for your chosen organization.

  • Serve - Show up during Volunteer Week, April 21-26, and be part of something bigger.

When we work together, we create real, lasting change. Let’s take action, give back, and build a stronger Midlands-because United is the Way.

Mission Statement

We unite people and resources to improve the quality of life in the Midlands.

Description

Today, we are breaking the cycles of crisis that can echo through families for decades. Join us.

We are a local charitable organization creating generational change in the Midlands.

Unlike smaller nonprofits who often have a very defined focus, we take a multifaceted approach to some of the biggest problems facing our society. Problems like homelessness, children's literacy, and lack of access to healthcare. By addressing these core issues, we break cycles of crisis and empower people to build their own paths to success.
