About Us
Kishwaukee United Way is a local organization committed to making an impact through community building, fundraising, and local advocacy. Money raised through local fundraising efforts is distributed by volunteer allocation panels after assessing program and service needs in DeKalb, Sycamore, Cortland, Clare, Malta, Creston, Maple Park, Malta, Shabbona and Somonauk. We are proud to report low overhead costs, offset by a community endowment and special event activities.
