United Way of the Plains serves south central Kansas—including Sedgwick, Butler and Sumner counties. United Way brings the community together to focus on the building blocks of a better life for all: education, income, and health. United Way raises funds, works with coalitions, writes grants, recruits volunteers and distributes in-kind gifts. United Way helps people find needed services through the United Way 2 1 1 information line and helps match people to volunteer opportunities through the United Way Volunteer Center.
