United Way of Northeastern Minnesota (UWNEMN)’s first-ever Born Learning Trail is coming to Baudette August 7th, and 30 volunteers are needed at Timber Mill Park to help make it happen.
United Way organizations across the United States utilize Born Learning Trails – a series of 10 interactive signs that transform everyday moments into fun and engaging learning opportunities for young children – as a community engagement and improvement tool.

As community members begin to clean up and repair from recent wildfires in St. Louis County, UWNEMN is offering financial assistance to those whose primary residences were affected.
Eligible property owners can request up to $5,000 for recovery expenses including (but not limited to): insurance deductibles, cleanup, building materials, temporary shelter, and replacing damaged items.
Local and state agencies that can help St. Louis County community members recover from recent wildfires will be at the Hoyt Lakes Arena June 17th and June 18th for a Multi-Agency Resource Center (MARC) event.
As communities across St. Louis County battle wildfires, United Way of Northeastern Minnesota (UWNEMN) is raising funds to help households in its service area recover from the disaster.
The need was first identified by partner agency American Red Cross in Minnesota. UWNEMN will partner with them, county and local officials, and other non-profits to allocate crisis funding locally once secured.
Did you know donating valuables to a nonprofit has the same impact as mailing a check or cash? In fact, doing so has some additional benefits for both the organization and donor!
When a donor makes a gift of real property to a qualifying charitable organization, generally, the fair market value of the asset at the time of the gift is eligible for a charitable income tax deduction.
By real property, we mean non-financial gifts. This is tangible personal property – things such as equipment, jewelry, vehicles, boats, real estate, etc.
The newest member of our team, Volunteer & Engagement Coordinator Emily Unhjem is UWNEMN’s main point of contact for all things volunteer-related.

There is a lot of uncertainty in the air in Northern Minnesota—particularly across the Iron Range since the recent idling of Minorca Mine and partial idling of Hibbing Taconite Co.
One thing that is certain, however, officials from United Way of Northeastern Minnesota (UWNEMN) know their mission is more important than ever.
That was the message during UWNEMN’s Annual Celebration held March 27th at the Minnesota Discovery Center and the message going forward.
