Monthly Highlights and Lunch & Learns
Each month United Way highlights the work of a various United Way Community Impact Agency through our e-newsletter, press releases, a podcast, paid media, and more.
In addition, a Lunch & Learn on a topic related to the work of the organization is hosted. These Lunch & Learns are open to the public as an opportunity for community members to learn about the topic as well as see United Way’s mission in person.
Dolly Parton's Imagination Library
Due to the generosity of the Riedel Foundation, United Way is able to oversee the Dolly Parton Imagination Library Program for children (birth-5) who live in the Hannibal School District in Marion County. Through the program, children receive one free book per month from the time they are born until they turn five. Download the enrollment form below or register at the following link!
Aly's Project: Youth Feeding the Needy
Aly’s Project was born out of the generosity of Aly Francis who was a senior when she decided to donate her show pigs to her local senior center after she overhead an older woman in her community talking who didn’t have enough food to eat. Through Aly’s Project, livestock producers can donate an animal to a local food pantry or senior center and dollars through the Aly’s Project fund will pay for the processing of that animal at a local butcher shop. Through this fund over 28,000 pounds of locally produced meat has been donated to local food pantries and senior centers since the project began in 2019. Over $34,000 have been donated to this fund to help provide this opportunity.
