| | Welcome
to Pillsbury United Communities
We are a community-based, venture orientated non-profit agency that traces
its roots to Minneapolis’ Bethel Settlement, one of 400 settlement houses
established between 1889 and 1910 across the nation to improve living
conditions in city slums. Our
purpose is to help people out of poverty through developing strong relationships
with individuals and their families. The foundation of our work originates
with engaging and merging multiple constituencies: neighborhood residents,
sister agencies, government bureaucracies, funding sources and anyone
else who is interested in the health and viability of our communities. We
are organized into four distinct and integrated units or strategies
to holistically address the complex and multi-faceted needs of the
30,000 people we serve annually. •
