United Way of Southeast Missouri

Cape Girardeau offers much to its citizens and visitors. Our city's recreation facilities offer activities year round, in addition to 23 beautiful parks to enjoy with your family. We are extremely proud to be the home of Southeast Missouri State University, as well as excellent public and private school systems. A diverse religious community and a diverse and ever expanding economy keep Cape Girardeau the focal point and heart of southeast Missouri. Cape Girardeau serves as the region's medical center (with Southeast Missouri Hospital and Saint Francis Medical Center), retail trade center, and leading industrial development area.
