The United Way of Grand Forks, East Grand Forks, & Area was founded as a collaboration of neighbors to develop ways to improve our community. This remains the core value of United Way today. Since 1957, United Way has been dedicated to providing our neighbors with opportunities to thrive within the Greater Grand Forks region. Today, we strive to enhance the lives of children and families in our community through a series of direct service programs that address homelessness, hunger, and poverty. We help low-income families in the Greater Grand Forks area meet their basic needs. Giving them hope for a brighter tomorrow.
