United Way Of Southwest Minnesota
About us:
Community leaders came together in the early 1960’s to form the Community Fund of Marshall with the purpose of more effectively meeting the needs of the people in the community. In the late 1980’s organization leaders recognized the benefits of networking with other similar organizations across the state and nation. The decision was made to become a local United Way organization. It is a member of United Way of America and the Association of United Ways of Minnesota. This does not diminish the local nature of the organization, but actually strengthens it with improved resources, educational opportunities and access to vital services. United Way of Southwest Minnesota is an independent, local organization working to create lasting changes in people’s lives and the communities it serves. The organization’s primary service area includes Lyon, Lincoln, Murray, western Redwood and Yellow Medicine Counties in southwest Minnesota
