Health, Education, Financial Stability, Basic Needs and Digital Access

Along with supporting basic needs, we're fighting for the health, education, financial stability and digital equity of every resident in the Chippewa Valley because we believe that will make our community stronger.

When you give to United Way of the Greater Chippewa Valley, you are helping to ensure everyone can have the best opportunities for health and wellness, children enter school ready to succeed, people in our community will be more financially stable and residents will have equal access to digital technologies. In addition, you are making sure that those facing crisis have access to food, clothing, shelter and basic medical care.
