Making a long term impact is challenging to do alone. That’s why we believe driving change is more effective, and more fun, when we do it together. Join a giving society to increase your impact and grow your leadership alongside others who share your passion for our community. Through volunteering, fundraising, and networking, these diverse groups are fighting for a stronger Itasca.

Advocacy means different things to different people. For some, advocating means talking to others about important issues facing our community; for others, advocacy takes place through writing a letter or getting in touch with an elected official to voice concern or support. Whether you’re speaking out to improve housing or wearing your LIVE UNITED shirt to show support, you can help inspire hope and create opportunities for a better tomorrow.

Sometimes, making a difference is as easy as picking up a paintbrush and refreshing a youth center. Other times, it’s a weekly commitment like tutoring elementary students. Whether you give an hour a week or an hour a year, your volunteer efforts make you a critical player in building better futures.
