February Give: Greater Twin Cities United Way

For our February Give, we are proud to partner with Greater Twin Cities United Way, an organization dedicated to investing in solutions that address household stability, educational success, and economic opportunity regardless of income, race or place. We are honored to contribute to this incredible organization that offers lasting and transformative impact throughout the Greater Twin Cities.

Founded with a mission to unite communities and drive systemic change, the Greater Twin Cities United Way focuses on ensuring stability and opportunity for all. By connecting resources, volunteers, and community leaders, they create pathways that empower individuals and families to build brighter futures. Their initiatives span multiple areas, including food security, housing stability, educational success, and workforce development—making a significant difference in the lives of thousands across the region.

In an effort to address youth homelessness, Greater Twin Cities United Way recently launched Pathways Home, an innovative initiative focused on prevention rather than response. With a $1.2 million grant awarded to 11 nonprofit organizations, this program supports young people exiting foster care and those transitioning from incarceration—two groups at high risk of experiencing homelessness.

Every year, 400 youth age out of foster care in Minnesota, and by age 21, 41% do not have stable housing. Pathways Home aims to break these cycles by offering proactive support, training, and resources to prevent housing insecurity before it begins.
