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.
