UNITED IS THE WAY 🌞

Everyday we make an impact and our mission is successful because of YOU! We hope you're having a great start to the week and summer.

With each partnership, project, and story, we’re reminded that lasting change is built step by step, together. As we head into this season of possibility, let’s keep leaning into connection, compassion, and collective impact.

Thank you for being a vital part of this movement.

DAY OF CARING 2026

THANK YOU FOR VOLUNTEERING WITH US 🫶

For over 30 years, we've connected folks to local organizations to receive assistance with the completion of much-needed projects, allowing them peace of mind to focus on continuing to serve people in the Chippewa Valley.

Thank you so much to every single volunteer, sponsor, and human who made this day and this annual event possible. Together we thrive!

REMEMBER TASTE OF THE VALLEY?

Yeah – we do too and we miss it, a lot.

We’re curating and refreshing that well attended event and calling it “Bites & Brews - A Taste of the Valley”. Our priority for this event is to focus on showcasing the heart of our communities.

We want to share the incredible diversity within the Chippewa Valley through local talent, art, food, and beverage vendors. We want to ensure this event’s revamp is tailored to share United Way’s impact alongside the partners we collaborate with to achieve that impact (of course, all paired with delicious bites and brews too).

Don’t miss out on your chance to win the inaugural Grand Gourmet Award and $2,500.00 cash prize! This’ll be a People’s Choice styled award so come prepared to wow our attendees.
