Our Mission and Vision:

"To improve our community's capacity to care for one another."

To Accomplish This We Will . . .

• Energize and inspire people to make a difference.
• Build coalitions around the community agenda.
• Diversify our own development efforts and support those of others.
• Measure, communicate, and learn from the impact of our efforts.

The United Way of Delta County runs a local community fundraising campaign each fall, raising money that stays right here in Delta County to support worthwhile human service programs administered by our 15 United Way Member Agencies. The official campaign timeline is September 1 - November 15, but your donation is welcome at any time of the year! (You can even donate online via PayPal -- see the "Donate" button on our home page.)

Campaign activities and events include:

Soup'r Chili Challenge (Sign up Now!)

This popular event is our community campaign kickoff and typically is scheduled for the second Tuesday in September each year. Come on over to the U.P. State Fairgrounds for delicious samplings of our area's best soup and chili recipes, and learn more about the many programs that depend on the United Way to bring important services to Delta County residents.

Got a special soup or chili recipe of your own to WOW the crowd? Yours could be the winner! To register as a chef, contact us at united @ dsnet.us or call (906) 786-3736.

Small Business Blitz

United Way volunteers hit the streets of Delta County on the last Wednesday of September and visit our local small businesses. For every pledge made that day, your business will be entered into a drawing for 25 FREE radio ads! For more information, contact us at united @ dsnet.us or call (906) 786-3736.

Haunted House

Our Haunted House at Hereford & Hops has become a community favorite! We always offer family friendly fun earlier in the day, but when night falls, look out! Things get much scarier after the kiddies are tucked into bed! If this is right up your alley and you'd like to help plan the event, give us a shout! united @ dsnet.us or (906) 786-3736

Many more fun opportunities to support your local United Way are in the works! Stay tuned, and keep checking back here for updates.
