Unitedway Testimonial
“I believe that two thing can make a very big difference in someone’s day (especially a kid) – Encouragement and good food. Volunteering my time over the past couple of years for these programs takes a minimal amount of effort, hopefully changes a kid’s day for the better, and makes me more aware of how much fortunate I have been and continue to be.”

United Way of Northeast MN

Maggie Furlong- Producer
