UNITED IS THE WAY
TO STRETCH SUPPORT IN OUR AREA
OAUW Community Vault
The Oshkosh Area United Way Community Vault is a central collection point for essential items like hygiene products, school supplies, cleaning items, diapers, paper products, and seasonal gear.
Centralizing donated supplies allows us to reach more local nonprofits and programs that support individuals and families in need—helping stretch limited budgets. By meeting basic needs across multiple organizations, the Vault strengthens community resiliency and amplifies the impact of every donation.
You can help by donating new, unused items (children’s books may be gently used) OR by organizing a collection drive—see more info below. It’s a simple way to multiply kindness and meet real needs in our community.

Donations can be dropped off at Oshkosh Area United Way, 16 Washington Avenue, Oshkosh, WI 54901.
We recommend calling ahead at (920) 235-8560 or emailing oauw@oshkoshunitedway.org so a staff member can be available to assist you.
LET'S FILL THE SHELVES TOGETHER!
Hosting a collection drive is an easy and impactful way for your workplace, school, club, or community group to support local nonprofits. The OAUW Community Vault helps meet ongoing needs year-round, and your collected items will be distributed where they’re needed most. You choose the timing and focus of your drive—we provide guidance to help you get started.
Below are suggested quarterly themes to inspire your collection.
A detailed list of recommended items is provided on the back of this flyer.
