Greater Twin Cities United Way Action Day | Thursday, August 3 | Target Field

Every child deserves an education that prepares them for success. Yet each year, 100,000 K-12 students in the greater Twin Cities return to school without the school supplies they need, impacting self-esteem and performance.

It's time to jump into action! Greater Twin Cities United Way is bringing together community changemakers for our annual Action Day initiative to provide backpacks full of school supplies for 50,000 local students! 

Each year, more than 100,000 greater Twin Cities students return to school without essential school supplies to support their work in the classroom.

Join Greater Twin Cities United Way for Flavors of Our Community – a food initiative focused on increasing access to culturally specific food items at local food shelves.

Our community is home to many cultures with a variety of meaningful foods and flavors. It is important that our neighbors experiencing food insecurity have access to foods and spices that are familiar and significant to their culture. In partnership with local nonprofits, Greater Twin Cities United Way developed 7 pantry packs.
