Our United Way MSJC Initiatives
Every person in our community deserves to be healthy, have access to education, and have household stability. The United Way MSJC funds programs that address the greatest issues that our local community faces every day - but our work does not stop there. To bridge the gap of need, our local United Way developed these exclusive initiatives.

United Way Super Readers!
This initiative focuses on encouraging children as they begin learning how to read with through Book Vending Machines, Story Time, and Summer Reading Palooza. We have placed 15 book vending machines across local schools in our area and restock them twice a year. Story Time Videos allows for every child to have a bedtime story. Summer Reading Palooza provides kindergarten and first grade students with books to start their very own libraries at home and continue reading over the summer.
