Special thanks to these companies for sponsoring our brochure. Their generosity allows more of your contribution to
go directly to our agencies.
The United Way of Northeastern MN is no longer just a fundraising organization. Since 2008, we have worked to adopt our own programs that improve education and promote healthy lives right here in Koochiching County.
• IMAGINATION LIBRARY A school readiness program sponsored by United Way that delivers monthly age appropriate books to children birth to age five for FREE! There are no income guidelines to this program. Sign your child up today!
• SMILES ACROSS MN A preventative dental care program in partnership with Children’s Dental Services, that provides teeth cleaning, fluoride treatments, sealants, oral health, and nutritional education to children in a school based setting with a focus on children who are under or un-insured. The service is provided by a mobile dental unit that brings the equipment on site with a local hygienist and assistant. A local dentist also travels across our service territory to provide restorative care to children when the need arises.
• BUddY BACKPACK PROGAM NEW*** Children most at risk of being hungry on weekends in our Koochiching area schools will be enrolled in this program starting in the fall of 2012, receiving a backpack full of nutritious, child-friendly and non-perishable food each Friday or holiday break before they head home from school.
