Way of Greater St. Joseph will host its annual meeting and luncheon at 11:45 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 5, at the Fulkerson Center on the Missouri Western State University campus.

The event, located at 4525 Downs Drive, offers the community a chance to reflect on the organization’s 2025 impact and preview upcoming initiatives. The program features a review of the past year’s financials, the recognition of retiring board members, and the election of new board members by the organization’s membership.

Organizers will highlight progress made through the contributions of thousands of donors and hundreds of volunteers. The luncheon will also honor annual award recipients and individuals who provided leadership through committee service and other volunteer roles throughout the year.

Following the general program, the organization will conduct its first board of directors meeting of 2026 to elect board officers.

Tickets are $30 per person, or $225 for a table of eight. A buffet lunch is included in the cost. Community members can register in advance at stjosephunitedway.org/events or by calling 816-364-2381.
