United Way of Hastings

Living United - It's What We Do

From a trial run in 2015, United Way of Hastings (UWH), Minnesota now provides weekend meal packs for over 250 students a week.

At UWH, this is how we work in the community - assess a need, bring collaborative partners together, implement a solution and provide sustaining support.

UWH started as the United Fund in 1964 and helped set a precedent for compassionate support and care. Over the past 60 years our core values and mission have remained the same.  We continue to help people and families right here in the Hastings area.  

Impact

 United Way of Hastings (UWH) continued to mobilize resources to support those in crisis via initiatives and partnerships.

 Donor dollars ensured UWH helped Hastings by:  

• Supplying over 8,000 weekend meal packs for students each year through our Food 4 Kids initiative. 
• Supporting Hastings High School students in getting caught up, passing classes, and graduating through our Communities In Schools (CIS) counselor, even with the varying school schedules throughout the year. 
• Funding over 14 community organizations through our allocations process to help children, teens, single parents, families, and seniors.
• Teaching almost 1,000 students how to build healthy webs of support and providing leadership development opportunities for a team of high school students. 

UWH serves residents of Minnesota's Independent School District #200 including Hastings, Hampton, Miesville, New Tier, Vermillion, Welch, and a portion of Washington County. Every dollar raised here, stays here!
