Annually, Great Rivers United Way honors local businesses and individuals with a high level of commitment to helping us achieve our mission to improve lives and strengthen communities. Winners are announced at our Annual Meeting, typically held in late winter/early spring.
Congratulations to these most recent and very deserving award recipients!
