The 25-member local United Way
Board of Directors monitors its
Partner Agencies to be sure funds
are used for the purposes intended;
and it decides what agencies and
what programs to fund.
It matters!

Scoop-It!
United Way manages a list
of elderly and disabled
homeowners in Pierre and
Fort Pierre whose snow removal is provided by inmates of the SD Women’s
Prison. Home owners must
sign up anew each year.
Girls on the Run /
Girls on Track
These two programs serve
girls in 3rd-5th grades and
6th–8th grades. Volunteer
coaches lead lessons,
games, activities and noncompetitive running/walking
workouts which build self
esteem and help to prepare
girls for a lifetime of selfrespect and healthy living.
Imagination Library
Carefully selected books
are mailed free to
children from birth
through age five in
Hughes and Stanley
Counties. Parents must
sign up for the program.
Student & Teacher
Support Fund
Small grants are given to
area schools to help meet
unusual, unfunded basic
needs of students — and
to compensate classroom
teachers who have often
paid for such needs out of
their own pockets. Funds
are used to buy school
supplies, gloves, milk
tickets, bus passes, etc.
