United We CAN

You CAN be a part of the solution. One in 7 people in our community are hungry.  Donate nonperishable foods to the United We CAN project. Help your neighbors in need. Our goal is to collect more than 7,500 lbs of food for the Marathon County Hunger Coalition. There are many ways you can participate! Register here!

Campaign Kick Off

The 2021 Campaign launches on August 18, 2021.  Companies and organizations are invited to join us in an online event, sponsored by Peoples State Bank.  Volunteers will participate in an activity for youth in area school districts and learn about additional digital tools and resources available to help create a successful workplace campaign.  Register here! After you register you will receive an email confirmation with a Zoom link and calendar invite.

United Way matches volunteers with needs in our community.  Volunteer Connection, a website operated by United Way, offers many agencies and organizations in our area the opportunity to request specific needs they have while allowing you to match your skill, time and talents to those needs. Would you have time to deliver meals?  Are you a skilled biker?  Maybe you have extra school supplies this season and could lend a hand by creating birthday cards?
