Your Impact.

Picture
Change in our communities can only happen through many hands and many minds. For 33 years, United Way of Becker County has been working on behalf of our donors and partner programs and many other community-minded individuals and corporations to help people and to make a difference. In 2015, United Way invested over $220,000 back into our county - changing the lives of children, youth, families, men and women and seniors - sometimes at the most desperate and vulnerable times of their lives.

Our volunteers make what we do possible. We are very fortunate to have a small army of volunteers reaching out to others to make life better for all of us.

Our donors create the possibility. They give us the opportunity to identify and affect the need in our communities, creating a light in the lives of people right here in Becker County.

Our 32 partner agencies, initiatives, and community programs currently provide services and programs to nearly one of every two LOCAL community members. This past year we have filled over 6,600 backpacks with food for hungry kids. Over 200 seniors were given security to stay in their own homes via Lifeline. And the food pantry distributed over 230 tons of food to those in need.

The heart of United Way is helping people. It always has been and always will continue to be our main goal. Thank you for the continued support we receive from our generous communities. Your support and efforts have BEEN THE LIGHT in the lives of many!
