and human services are available around the greater Duluth area
should you, your family, or a fellow community member ever need
them.
5. Dependability:
United Way funded agencies rely on their assured allocation from
United Way to budget and plan their services for the year. The United
Way system also allows agencies to focus on providing services and
keeps their overhead costs low.
6. Flexibility:
United Way provides an alternative to government services for many
of the people who fall between the cracks.

All gifts are not only tax deductible, but also keep taxes down
by keeping people off welfare, helping the disabled, reducing crime
and delinquency, etc.

The payroll deduction option available through the workplace makes
giving easy and convenient, enabling individuals to make a difference
all year long.

and responsive community.
