Together We Thrive
The Twin Cities are known as one of the best places to live in the country. But that’s not true for everyone: 1 in 4 of our neighbors cannot afford their basic needs. Together, we will create a community where all people thrive, regardless of income, race or place.
We are Changemakers
We’ve been around a long time because we are committed to our community. We’ll also try something new if it means we get closer to our goal of lifting our community out of poverty.
You Make a Difference
When you donate time or money to United Way, you’re helping break the cycle of poverty in your community. And when you or someone you know needs help, we’re here.

United Way in Action
There are real human beings behind the statistics. These community impact stories are a testament to why we do what we do.
