Growth of service and mission prompted a United Way of Muscatine to become United Way Muscatine County.
The change reflects the organization’s commitment to serving the entire county and aligns more closely with its mission to mobilize resources to empower the greater Muscatine County area to improve the lives of people in need, according to an organizational statement this week.
“Since our merger with United Way of Wilton in 2022, we have served all of Muscatine County. We felt that it was important that our name reflect that. Our name change to United Way Muscatine County symbolizes our commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of individuals and families throughout the entire county,” said Shane Orr, President and CEO.
As United Way Muscatine County, the organization aims to better showcase its commitment to connecting resources, volunteers, and donors to areas in greatest need, from Muscatine to West Liberty, Wilton, and other areas of Muscatine County.
The United Way Muscatine County has a long history of serving the community through various programs and initiatives, including:
Muscatine Volunteer Center - volunteermuscatine.org
Day of Caring
Kids First Fund
Reading and Math Mentor Program
Community Diaper Bank
Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA)
Community Drives
Community Investment Grants in Education, Housing, and Household Stabilization
Alongside this name change, United Way Muscatine County is introducing new branding and a theme: “United is the Way,” which focuses on key areas of housing and education to drive meaningful change in the region. United Way Worldwide, along with other United Ways around the globe, is also launching a refreshed logo and branding that reflects the values of unity, collaboration, and inclusion. The new branding will be rolled out in phases across digital platforms, printed materials, and community outreach efforts.
