CoMoHelps
Comohelps is a collaborative initiative uniting the Heart of Missouri United Way, Community Foundation of Central Missouri, Veterans United Foundation, the City of Columbia, and Boone County. Together, we create meaningful impact when our community needs it most.
The ongoing government shutdown is creating unexpected challenges for many individuals and families in our community. Basic everyday needs—such as food, rent, utilities, infant formula, and diapers—are going unmet.
Comohelps is our community’s way of stepping up. By coming together, we can bridge the gap and provide critical support where it’s needed most.
SUPPORT FOR NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS
If your organization is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides essential human services—such as food, housing, utilities, or other basic needs—and is either impacted by the government shutdown or planning to serve additional individuals during this time, we want to hear from you.
Please take a moment to complete our brief application. Submissions are reviewed regularly, and a member of our team will follow up with you.
Thank you for the vital work you do to support our community.
