The inaugural Unite With Us Day, a community-wide day of service to help our neighbors was a success! United Way of Greater St. Louis (UWGSL) united volunteers on Saturday, June 22, 2024 across the region, including several UWGSL supporters, board members, Leadership Givers, staff and United Way safety net partners.

Volunteers sorted and packaged food, completed yard work and garden maintenance, organized community clothing donations, and more. More than 6,300 clients were assisted during the first-time event.

 “Unite With Us Day was a tremendous success,” said Michelle D. Tucker, president and CEO of United Way of Greater St. Louis.

“We recognize how vital volunteers are to the work of our nonprofits and this event was extremely noteworthy because of the size of the effort. In fact, each year thousands of volunteers serve our community through our Volunteer Center to make a transformative impact, further demonstrating that every day is a great day to volunteer in our community.”

Tucker said Unite With Us Day will serve as an annual reminder about “the unmatched role volunteers play across the region.”

 United Way helps over 1 million people throughout 16 counties annually- 1 in 3 people in Missouri and Illinois. Unite With Us Day will be an annual day of service to mobilize volunteers to help people live their best lives.
