United Way of Mower County (UWMC) has successfully concluded its annual Community Campaign, raising $1,208,394 to support vital nonprofit organizations throughout the area.
The campaign just missed its goal of $1.275 million announced in September of last year.
The successful campaign brings critical funding to 25 partner organizations operating 35 programs focused on education, health, financial stability, and basic needs across Mower County communities.
"This remarkable achievement reflects not just the generosity of our donors, but the shared vision we have for a stronger, more resilient Mower County," said Molly Lanke, executive director of UWMC.

The campaign drew support from a broad coalition of over 2,600 individual donors, businesses, and foundations, demonstrating the community's dedication to addressing local challenges through collective action.
"What makes this year's campaign especially meaningful is how our community continues to step up despite ongoing economic pressures," Lanke said. "When we unite around common goals, we multiply our impact far beyond what any single organization could achieve alone. These funds will transform lives in tangible, measurable ways throughout the coming year."
UWMC's strategic investment approach ensures donations create sustainable solutions to community challenges while maximizing the impact of every dollar contributed.

United Way of Mesa County to expand 'United to Solve Homelessness'
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KREX) — On Monday, the United Way of Mesa County (UWMC) announced that it will be expanding its 'United to Solve Homelessness' initiative through a three-pronged approach to address the needs of the unhoused population and the community. The expansion will include the launch of a centralized homeless hotline, a new mobile outreach van, and the release of the 2025 ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) Report. The new homelessness hotline will be available to individuals experiencing homelessness and seeking support. With the hotline, individuals will be able to access resources, report concerns and coordinate services with community partners promptly. The hotline aims to help reduce barriers for those who are in crisis while offering local businesses an effective way to assist. The number for the new homelessness hotline is 970-773-7230. A mobile outreach van run by the United Way of Mesa County will bring supplies and services directly to homeless encampments and individuals. Teams will distribute water, food, hygiene kits and first aid while offering case management and ways to connect to housing and health services. The service will be a collaboration between UWMC, the City of Grand Junction Neighbor-2-Neighbor team and service providers across various organizations. 'This outreach van is a game-changer,' said UWMC Services and Outreach Coordinator Philip Masters. 'It allows us to meet people where they are—literally. Building trust and delivering care in the field is essential for helping people move from crisis to stability.' The 2025 ALICE Report collects county-by-county data to measure financial insecurity and the current financial landscape in Colorado. It allows UWMC to learn about the number of Mesa County residents who work but cannot afford basic needs and represent a growing population at risk of homelessness. With the data, United Way of Mesa County can identify gaps in support and address systemic barriers.
