United Ways U Can Make a Difference
United Way was built on the belief that together, we can accomplish more than any one individual or organization can alone. Missouri Southern has chosen to be a pacesetter for the 2012-2013 campaign. MSSU is setting the pace for everyone else, we are leaders and we can help create a stronger community by giving to the United Way
Your donations to the United Way make a world of difference. They give clothes to children...food to families...and support to our neighbors who need it the most. I want to make a difference in the lives of our neighbors. And I hope you do too.
Our Goal - $16,000 can be reached with MSSU working together
