Statewide initiatives
Together, we make a bigger impact.
Together, we make our communities stronger.
From Alpena to Zeeland, Michigan United Ways make real impact in their local communities. When our Local United Ways come together to work towards a common goal, that impact is scaled in a profound way. Our statewide initiatives address hunger, equity, and COVID-19 relief — but that’s just the beginning. Connect with us to talk about harnessing the power of Local United Ways.
Summer Stock Up
In 2021, United Ways across Michigan came together to ask local businesses and community members to participate in the “Summer Stock Up” to stock local food pantries with items to get them through the warmer months.
21 Day Equity Challenge
The 21-Day Equity Challenge is a self-guided learning journey that examines the history and impacts of racism and how it shapes people’s lived experience in your community. Over the past year, thousands of Michiganders have participated in a local 21-Day Equity Challenge, using a common framework created by Local United Ways.
