Understanding the need, UWNEMN recruited Wilder Research to help determine the most critical issues that were within UWNEMN's scope to focus on.

United for Veterans is operated by United Way of NE MN with support from a committee of local veterans to fill gaps in services for veterans and service members across the Iron Range, Koochiching County, and Lake of the Woods County. Over the years, veterans and their family members have expressed the critical need for expanded, wrap-around services throughout our rural Iron Range communities to United Way of Northeastern MN staff, board and volunteers. Upon completion of a year long study, a group comprised of local veterans was created to facilitate movement and change around the issues that were deemed most critical. "United for Veterans" raises awareness and funds through Rampage at the Ridge each year in August. Funds raised are directed towards local veterans through a variety of ways. To find out more about how we're making a difference in the lives of local veterans, servicemembers and their families visit our website at www.unitedwaynemn.org/united-veterans

The final product was up for raffle this summer/fall, and ticketholders and Drawing Party attendees united to raised more than $20,000 to go right back into our program.

Special thanks to United Way of Northeastern Minnesota Board President Matt Hiti for volunteering his workshop, tools, and time - and to Pohaki, Dark Lake Metal Works, Arrow Auto Glass & Door, United Refractories, Eveleth Elks Lodge # 1161, Keewatin American Legion Post 452, Jay Simmonds, and The Fireplace Corner for their support - to make this project possible!
