This fund, fueled by the generous contributions of our donors, supports 16 impactful programs that align with our mission to improve education, health, and financial stability for people across greater Itasca County.

Deer River Boys and Girls Club Spotlight
Welcome to United Way of 1000 Lakes’ Proud Partner Video Series, where we highlight the vital work of our partner organizations in supporting children and families across our communities.

In this episode, we’re excited to introduce the Boys and Girls Club of Leech Lake—one of our dedicated partners under United Way’s “Ready Kids, Resilient Families” initiative. This program is committed to supporting children and families through essential resources, from early education and after-school programs to family support and parenting resources.

Joining us today is Kayleen Monacelli the Unit Director at Boys and Girls Club in Deer River, to share more about the impactful work they’re doing. Through programs designed to foster learning, resilience, and growth, they’re making a lasting difference in the lives of local youth and their families.

Let’s dive in to hear more about how they’re helping build a stronger, more resilient community.
