Testimonials

Jon, R.

“I left the non-profit sector after 19 years and quickly realized how much I missed being able to support and give back to my community. After seeing first-hand just how involved United Way is in the community, I knew this was the right place for me. I am proud to be a new volunteer board member for United Way of Carlton & Pine Counties and am excited to be able to help our community grow and thrive. UW does so many great things for so many people!”
