UWM has volunteer opportunities throughout the year. In addition to the community- wide initiatives we plan – like Day of Caring – we also love working with individual corporate partners to schedule their own volunteer projects with one of our local nonprofit organizations. Our team can help you through the entire process of planning, executing and tracking involvement.

Sponsorship Opportunities

SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND UNITED WAY OF THE MIDLANDS WITH AN ANNUAL SPONSORSHIP

Day of Caring

September 11, 2026 | Nonprofit locations across the metro

A single day of service where individual volunteers and volunteer teams spend their day making a difference at local nonprofits to fulfill a variety of needs – from painting, meal service and yard work to everything in between.

Annual Meeting

Each year we share the impact of our donors’ investments in our community and recognize our corporate partners and individuals who have gone above and beyond to support UWM.

HOLIDAY HELPERS

Each year from November – December, Holiday Helpers showcases the reason for the season by supporting agency programs during a critical time of year through supply drives, volunteer projects and more.

The Winter Warm-Up project was created following a request from Omaha Public Schools (OPS) to partner with United Way of the Midlands to address the need they were seeing for sustainable winter gear for a number of their students.

National Volunteer Week

April 18-24, 2027 | Corporate and nonprofit partners across the metro

National Volunteer Week celebrates the impact of volunteer efforts and the power of community. During this week we hold five Good on the Go events, one for each weekday, to provide agency partners with the essentials they need. Volunteer opportunities at nonprofit partners throughout the metro are also posted, so individuals can come together in the spirit of service to make an impact during the full month of April, which is Global Volunteer Month.
