United Way of Fort Smith Area Campaign at a Glance
 
Welcome to the 2008 United Way of Fort Smith Area campaign!

United Way is committed to improving lives and building stronger communities throughout our six-county area—Crawford, Franklin, LeFlore, Logan, Sebastian and Sequoyah counties.

Much more than a fund-raising organization, United Way directs resources toward our communities’ most pressing health and human service issues and serves as a vital link between those who can help and those who need help.

United Way’s annual campaign is the easiest and most powerful way to invest in your community with 100% of your investment staying local.
