A community conversation

What does it really take to make ends meet in Northwest Minnesota?

Join the United Way of Bemidji Area, United Ways of Minnesota, and regional community partners for a conversation about the latest ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) data and what it reveals about the challenges facing working households across our region. Together, we’ll explore local trends, discuss the realities behind the data, and consider how communities, organizations, and leaders can work together to strengthen economic stability and opportunity.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to participate in the interactive Making Tough Choices simulation, a facilitated activity that provides insight into the difficult financial decisions many ALICE households face every day.

This event is designed for nonprofit professionals, community leaders, educators, employers, elected officials, board members, and anyone interested in creating stronger, more resilient communities.
