| United Way of Olmsted County is a community change organization that fights for the education, health, and financial stability of every person in our community. Olmsted County is a fantastic place to live, work, play, and raise a family. A community with tremendous natural beauty, caring neighbors, a strong economy, and seemingly boundless opportunity, Olmsted County is an exceptional community.
But too often, there are people in Olmsted County who are left behind and don’t share in the vitality. An unacceptable income gap. Geographic and socio-economic segregation. Personal and collective isolation. Gross inequities along racial and ethnic lines. These conditions and more cause Olmsted County to be experienced differently by people in need. United Way fights to erase divisions, bridge divides, and right inequities. We work to connect people with resources that change lives and transform our community.
We do this in a variety of ways. We operate programs and shared resources that support the community, such as our 211 information and referral service or our Get Connected volunteer matching portal. We work collaboratively with partners from many organizations and walks of life to create systems change and solutions that elevate our community more than any single program or organization could. We provide financial, technical, and volunteer support for programs that make a difference.
At United Way, we LIVE UNITED with the change-makers, risk-takers, and problem-solvers as we seek, find, and create lasting solutions to the challenges that face our community. |
