EVENTS

Join us as we collect food items to Pack the Backpack at Sam's Club and Hugo's Family Marketplace in East Grand Forks. United Way’s Backpack Program fights to end childhood hunger by providing food in students’ backpacks to feed them for the weekend. A donation can help provide up to six meals for kids who need a bit more help and hope when they’re away from school. Together, we are ensuring no child goes hungry.

Join your neighbors in a trike race against poverty. We invite you to form teams of four to compete in this relay event. It will be a fantastic day of competition, costumes, and food. ​Last year was a photo finish, and this year we will have more teams than ever fighting for the coveted title of Trike Wars champions. Prizes will be given to the fastest and best dressed teams. ​​Come ready to compete and win against poverty!​​

Join us on February 9th, 2023 for Giving Hearts Day! This year we are putting Families First. Together, we can provide safe homes for families living in the Grand Forks Area. Your gift is worth everything to them; every donation counts. Help end homelessness before it begins.

Join us for a night of fun at the MGM Grand Forks. Delicious hors d'oeuvres, drinks and dancing will accompany a wide variety of Vegas-style gaming such as Blackjack, Poker, and Roulette. Cocktail attire is recommended, and all guests must be 21 years of age. All proceeds will provide neighbors with opportunities to thrive through United Way’s focus areas Live, Work and Learn.
