Volunteer Leadership

United Way of East Central Iowa works, in large part, because of the selfless dedication of hundreds of volunteers. Whether they are on the board of directors, board of trustees or one of the many United Way committees, these community leaders devote their time and talents to make sure United Way can help those most in need.
