Our Goal:
To provide a better quality of life for the communities we serve.
Improving education, health, and economic mobility in DeKalb County, Illinois.

GIVE DEKALB COUNTY
DeKalb County's biggest day of giving is almost here — and Kishwaukee United Way is ready to make it count.
On Wednesday, May 7, 2026, Give DeKalb County Day brings our community together for 24 hours of online giving that directly funds the people and programs working hardest right here at home. Every dollar raised through Kishwaukee United Way stays local — supporting 2-1-1 services, ALICE families working to make ends meet, and a network of partner agencies serving DeKalb County's most vulnerable residents.
One day. One community. Big impact.
2026 EMPOWERMENT LUNCHEON - THANK YOU!




A Heartfelt Thank You!
What an incredible gathering. On Thursday, March 19, Kishwaukee United Way hosted our Empowerment Luncheon and Annual Meeting — and none of it would have been possible without you.
To every supporter, donor, volunteer, and community partner who joined us: thank you. Your presence is a powerful reminder of what we achieve when we come together. You are the reason this community continues to move forward. We're grateful for each of you.
