HERE TO HELP

When there’s a need in the community, United Way of Northeastern Minnesota springs to action, providing funding to local agencies addressing the need or creating our own programs to fill gaps in services. UWNEMN and our partners are here to help all people thrive across the Iron Range, in Koochiching County, and in Lake of the Woods County thanks to the support of local donors and volunteers.
