Basic Needs Advisory Council Members
Throughout the year, United Way works to make an impact on the health, education and financial stability of residents in Eau Claire and Chippewa counties who are living on the edge. Our goal is to help improve lives and build stronger Chippewa Valley communities. However, we understand that this cannot happen if residents do not first have their basic needs met. This is why we partner and invest in community organizations focused on meeting the basic needs of residents by ensuring access to food, shelter and medical care. As part of United Way of the Greater Chippewa Valley’s community impact model, the Basic Needs Advisory Council is a volunteer council made up of professionals from the public and private financial sectors, human services, and secondary training institutions.
