About Harvey County United Way

Most grants are program support to locally rooted nonprofits (often repeat recipients), with an emphasis on services for seniors, children, families facing crisis, and poverty alleviation.

About Harvey County United Way
Harvey County United Way Inc gives through local social-service grants and board-issued mini-grants that support front-line work in Harvey County, with a pattern of repeat awards to the same community providers. Recent grants show sustained backing for Newton Meals on Wheels, Safehope, Heart to Heart Child Advocacy Center, and Circles of Hope, alongside support for child and family services, mental health and recovery, and emergency help for households facing crisis.

A local early childhood and childcare focus also appears in its grant programs. Grants are mostly made to organizations in Newton and nearby Harvey County communities, with a smaller number reaching other Kansas locations.
