Welcome to the United Way of Southwest New Mexico

"To improve lives by mobilizing the caring power of our community."

 

 

United Way of Southwest New Mexico is a locally independent, volunteer driven, non-profit organization, bringing people and resources together to build healthier communities in and around Dona Ana County.

Since 1957, we've been finding new ways to help the people of Dona Ana County care for one another. Today, we continue to lead the way in addressing local human care needs. Through our Citizens Review Panel we partner with community volunteers in prioritizing needs, raising resources, and funding services that provide effective support and solutions.
