The fires in our region are nearly contained, and thanks to the support of WDIO’s wildfire telethon today, everyone who called in or donated online, and matching funds from Verizon, #UWNEMN will be here to help our neighbors as they recover from this crisis. Verizon will continue matching donations for the next 24 hours - up to $5,000! 100% of funds raised will go directly to St. Louis County community members affected by recent wildfires.

#UWNEMN's free summer lunch program, Meet Up and Chow Down, starts in ONE WEEK, and there are still two days without volunteer coverage. 📣 Please spread the word! Volunteers are needed to hand out lunches to local children Mondays at Keewatin City Park and Mondays at the Nashwauk Rec Center this month. Volunteers are still needed at most Meet Up and Chow Down sites in July and August as well. Learn more/sign up to help at: www.unitedwaynemn.org/meet-up-chow-down (fb)
