Our Mission
The mission of the Henderson County United Way is to aid local agencies’ health and human services agenda by engaging residents, corporate citizens, and other stakeholders in sustained collaborative efforts to strengthen and improve conditions in the Henderson County area. In support of this mission, Henderson County United Way seeks to help increase the organized capacity of people to care for one another.
Get Involved
United together, we can improve the lives of the people in Henderson County. You can give to support our community programs, volunteer your time, or lend your voice to a cause that matters to you.
Join the Ride United Last Mile Delivery Drive
A Community That Takes Care of Others Will Thrive.
Ride United Last Mile Delivery (RULMD) is an innovative Henderson County United Way partnership with DoorDash and PetsMart Charities, that provides free deliveries of food, pet supplies, and essential items to those in need in our community. Henderson County United Way works with community partners to identify those who need food and other essential items. We collaborate with food pantries, grocery stores, restaurants, and schools to meet those needs. Henderson County United Way submits pick-up and drop-off information to DoorDash via a secure online system to schedule deliveries. DoorDash Dashers then pick up multiple packages and make contact-free deliveries to neighbors along an efficient route.
