Helping People in Crisis
When challenges arise, no one should face them alone. We invest in programs that provide critical support, stability, and pathways forward for individuals and families in need.
Hope and Support When It’s Needed Most
Life can bring unexpected challenges, and everyone deserves a path forward during difficult times. By investing in programs that provide immediate support and long-term solutions, we help individuals and families overcome obstacles and build stability.
Creating Pathways to Stability
Sioux Empire United Way supports local programs that meet people where they are and connect them with critical resources. Whether someone is facing a crisis today or working toward a stronger future, these programs provide the support, guidance, and opportunities needed to move forward.
Our investments focus on:
- Emergency assistance and basic needs
- Housing stability and support services
- Mental health resources
- Connections to community resources
"Because of the St. Francis House and everyone here, I am able to have a roof over my head and they continue to help me stay clean and sober from drugs."
— David, St. Francis House Resident
