United is the way we create lasting change
United Way of Fort Smith Area brings communities together to find strength and share hope. It’s the way we rally in hard times to meet people’s needs so they can rise back up and build a better future.
Our Next Event
Day of Caring
On Day of Caring (April 17, 2025), volunteer teams from local companies and businesses, families, and individuals work together to complete projects and conduct special programs for United Way’s community partners, who often lack the necessary resources and staffing to tackle the projects. These projects range from reading to children, painting a room, and engaging in outdoor activities such as landscaping or washing windows.
