Green graphics with text that reads Fillmore County Community Share Out
Join Fillmore County community members, service providers, and nonprofit organizations for an inspiring share out -- the culmination of six months of local learning and collaboration.
 
Over the past six months, United Way of Southeast Minnesota staff have connected with service providers across Fillmore County. We led a team of community members in documenting the strengths, needs, and gaps in services available to residents.
 
Now, we're gathering to learn about and discuss Fillmore County residents' recommendations. Together, we will ask: How can we all use this data to support opportunities and leaders in our community?
 
Refreshments and a physical copy of the report will be available for all who attend. Come be a part of the conversation and help shape the future of community services in Fillmore County!
