Greater Twin Cities United Way helps people and communities reach their full potential. They help make sure people in our region are able to make the most of their lives, recognizing that our diversity, education standards, economic opportunity, and ability to meet basic needs makes us all stronger.
To help provide those basic needs, like food, they recently announced a $50 million to our Strengthening the Safety Net goal area. This funding will boost nearly 100 organizations in their work providing basic needs in the nine-county metro area. Within these organizations, 24 programs are working directly to end hunger in our community.
United Way also makes a difference for hungry families in our community through volunteerism. Last year, during their Centennial year, United Way volunteers served 39,819 meals to the hungry and made 52,779 healthy snack packs for kids.
