2022 Events
Monthly Gatherings on 1st Wednesday of each month; occasional exceptions.
- February 2, 2022, at 6:00pm - United Way for Southeastern Michigan works every day to foster communities where all households are stable, and every child thrives. A well-known part of this work is providing direct support to families in crisis to help them on the path to stability and prosperity. Nearly 40 percent of Southeastern Michigan households live at an income level below the basic survivability threshold, and many families are one crisis away from complete financial collapse.
- Join in and experience our Cost of Living simulation to understand what difficult decisions families must make. This digital empathy-building tool engages participants to experience current community issues through simulated life events -- including housing shortages, rising childcare costs, and food insecurity-- while learning about United Way's role to improve them.
- March – to be determined
