A Message from United Way President and CEO, Lauren A. Segal:

Our hearts go out to the Hugo and Coon Rapids communities that suffered such devastating losses in life and property after Sunday’s tornado. One cannot begin to imagine what it is like to have everything one owns—gone in just a matter of seconds. Many of you have inquired of how to help.

United Way is supporting our immediate response partners, the Red Cross and City of Hugo officials, as they provide assistance. Below are addresses, phone numbers and Website links for more information. We'll continue to update our Website as information becomes available.

Thank you for your support.
