United Way of South Mississippi still serves Hancock, Harrison, Stone, & Pearl River Counties, in addition to encouraging partnerships and collaborations with United Ways to our east and west.
The work of thousands of volunteers and the generosity of over 4,000 contributors to the annual campaigns demonstrate our mission to “rally resources, collaboratives, and leadership to improve the quality of life in South Mississippi.” Our vision, revised in 2012, is clear: we are improving outcomes in education, income, and health for everyone in South Mississippi by giving children and families the tools and support they need to thrive in our community.” By partnering with donors, employers, nonprofits, faith groups and government agencies, United Way brings a coordinated approach to solving community problems.
