BROOKINGS AREA
UNITED WAY
Hope happens when we are United. That’s why over 65 years, generations have trusted Brookings Area United Way to help bring solutions around mental health, economic hardship, food insecurity, and so much more. We’re here for our neighbors to turn to for giving—and receiving—help.
Our Work
We create solutions through programming, coalitions, and innovative funding. From creating pathways out of poverty to leading community initiatives of resiliency and mental health -- our work is focused on the people who are most in need of support. We turn your contributions into breaking generational cycles and provide support for people to not only survive but thrive in Brookings County.
Make a Gift
Our work is made possible by generous donations - big and small - from people like you. Give today to help families have a full pantry, kids have access to healthcare, and seniors keep their homes accessible.
