Executive director Elizabeth Child provided an update on Rice County United Way. Two years ago, Northfield and Faribault branches joined a county-focused charter to support local community programs. The mission of Rice County Area United Way is to mobilize the resources and caring power of individuals, organizations, and networks to strengthen the community. Our purposes include raising funds, providing leadership, identifying and addressing community needs, and supporting an effective and balanced delivery system of human care. The United Way of Rice County's main focus is to fight for every community member's health, education, and financial stability. With the rise of many non-profit needs and places asking for donations, the United Way has seen a drop in company payroll giving. |
