WHAT IS THE MITCHELL UNITED WAY? The Mitchell United Way may mean different things to different people. To some it means food and shelter. To others it means hope.

However, if you ask most people they will reply that the Mitchell United Way means help. Help from an independent, local non-profit organization that is designed to meet our own community’s Human Service needs.

It is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of community minded men and women who determine policies and maintain a program that is beneficial to the entire community.

Through a volunteer system the United Way brings together business, government, organizations, employees and dedicated individuals for a united approach to solve local needs.

During the fall months of each year a Campaign is conducted through volunteers who help raise the funds that are required to assist 31 local organizations or agencies in fulfilling the basic needs of those who are less fortunate and who are experiencing misfortune and hardship. Funds from the Campaign are distributed to member agencies throughout the following year.
