Coats for Kids:

We live in a cold climate for many months of the year and we all know how important a warm coat and accessories are! Consider donating your gently used coats, snowpants, boots, hats, gloves and scarves for others in need. Donations are accepted year round at the United Way office and will be distributed to people needing a warm coat. All sizes are welcome!

Feeding Backpack Program:

Otter Tail County Family Services Collaborative and United Way are coordinating a feeding backpack program to youth K-6, placing food in backpacks of hungry kids each Friday in all of our school districts to ensure kids will have food on the weekends.
