🚲💙 A huge thank you to Boyer & Associates for including United Way of Steele County in their annual meeting community impact activities!

Their team built and donated bicycles that are now headed to local youth in our community. These bikes will do more than provide transportation. They'll create opportunities for adventure, independence, and lasting childhood memories.

We're grateful for partners like Boyer & Associates who continue to invest in Minnesota families and help young people thrive. Together, we're building a stronger Steele County, one act of generosity at a time.

💙 Meet ALICE.

ALICE is Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. They are our neighbors who work hard, earn above the poverty level, but still don't make enough to afford life's basic necessities.

In Steele County, 32% of households are below the ALICE threshold.

Understanding ALICE helps us see the true picture of financial hardship and work toward solutions that help every household thrive.
