United Way and Land O'Lakes

The Building Blocks to a Better Life
United Way works to unite our community to address the most pressing needs through a 10-goal plan—our Agenda for Lasting Change—that creates pathways out of poverty for the most vulnerable in our community. One of those goals is hunger.  Because hunger is such a complex issue and families who are hungry need more than just food, United Way uses a variety of strategies to ensure the biggest impact for low-income families.  Read more about United Way's work in hunger.

In 2009, the company launched its Feeding Our Communities initiative—a program dedicated to help alleviate hunger locally, nationally and globally. Read more about Land O’Lakes' work in the community.
