Power of the Purse 2023

Your donations support United Way of Northeastern Minnesota's Buddy Backpack program which provides a backpack filled with nutritious, nonperishable, child-friendly food items to children who are at-risk of going hungry over the weekends due to various reasons.


More than 1,000 children are currently enrolled in the program in the region.


Every $6 raised fills one Buddy Backpack. Sponsoring one child for the year for this program costs $216 - just $18/month!
