Creating lasting change and enriching lives by harnessing the collective compassion and resources of our community!

United Way of Otero County is a marvelous opportunity for each of us to help our neighbors and thereby help ourselves. When we reach our goal of supporting families, seniors, under-served youth and those needing rehabilitation, then we strengthen the entire community. What you are blessed to give helps Otero County to better thrive, develop and live. In the giving, we all can have a part to make the whole village healthy.
United Way of Otero County has been working together with the community for 50 years helping to build a better tomorrow by focusing on improving the building blocks of life, Education, Health & Income Stability.

To advance the common good, create lasting change and enrich lives by harnessing the collective compassion and resources of our community to improve lives.
