Basic Needs in Rice County

Right now, 4 in 10 Rice County families are struggling just to get by.

They’re working hard—but still forced to choose between rent or groceries, heat or medicine.

At Rice County Area United Way, we believe no one should have to make those choices.

That’s why we fund critical local programs that provide food, housing, and other basic needs. Last year, our partners made over 37,000 meaningful connections with families in need.

But we can’t do it without you.

We’re working to raise $15,000 this season. Every gift matters—and every dollar stays local.

Give today. Our neighbors are counting on you.
