ADVANCING THE COMMON GOOD - 2015

In 2009, United Way of Olmsted County volunteers identified community goals that are most critical for advancing the common good by focusing on:

• Education - preparing children to succeed in school and youth to succeed in the community.
• Income - moving families toward financial independence.
• Health - promoting wellness and health care access.
• Community Basics - meeting basic needs of food, shelter, safety, and inclusiveness.

Through these specific goals, we are helping people in a new way. We are breaking negative cycles and tackling the root causes of problems to create lasting change. This shared vision is mobilizing the community and creating collaborations that produce results. Together, we are changing Olmsted County for the better for all of us.
