LIFE IS A GIFT
The more you give, the more you save.
Sadly, for many in our community, life can quickly feel like less of a gift and more of a burden. That’s why United Way of Central Oklahoma is here, to connect community resources with responsive and accountable health and human services agencies. Through us, your gifts truly make a difference. We respectfully ask that you contribute to our 2021 Give Campaign – and help us pass it on.
