Local Support

United Way supports EDUCATION, HEALTH & FINANCIAL STABILITY.  This year we have provided more than 188,000 books to children to help improve early learning. Your gift provides safe homes and warm meals because we are increasing our support for people experiencing homelessness and hunger in our community. The Marathon County Hunger Coalition distributed millions of pounds of food to help combat hunger and the Housing Taskforce advocated for affordable housing and helped families avoid homelessness. 211 has been able to assist people who needed help 24 hours a day.
