Our mission at Greater Twin Cities United Way is to create a community where all people thrive regardless of income, race or place. We focus our work in the areas of housing, food, education and jobs.
Just like our fellow Minnesotans, Greater Twin Cities United Way is meeting our current moment as a leader and responsive community partner. For more than 100 years, we’ve demonstrated that when we come together, we develop solutions to address the challenges no one can solve alone.

☎️ Keep the 211 resource helpline available as a vital resource for Minnesotans. Every 2 minutes, a 211 call specialist connects someone in our community to shelter, food, quality childcare and more. 🏠 Neighbors facing homelessness find safe, stable and affordable homes. Every 35 minutes, someone experiencing homelessness secures shelter and support from a Greater Twin Cities United Way partner. 🍽️ Local families access food that is nutritious, culturally relevant and affordable. Once every minute, a neighbor facing hunger receives groceries or a hot meal from a Greater Twin Cities United Way partner. 🎒 Kids start school ready—and grow up prepared to lead their own future. Last year, more than 1,200 youth received quality child care and participated in career pathways programs with Greater Twin Cities United Way partners. 📈 The people who keep our communities running build skills and grow their careers. Every week, Greater Twin Cities United Way partners create 50 new jobs in the community. |

“Children are our most precious resource. And to think there are 78,000 young kids unable to get their basic needs met, and the impact that has not just in the short term, but long term. The work United Way is doing to address that is so important.” – Paul M. |
“Systems change is possible. And it’s a grind. It takes time and effort. But the expertise is right in front of us, in the people experiencing barriers to housing right now. When we listen, the solutions are right in front of us.” — Jay Wagner, Associate Director, Holistic Grantmaking, Greater Twin Cities United Way |
