Our President & CEO Kris Pate announced today that the UNITED WE FEED: Disaster Food Relief Fund that was created in response to August’s devastating storms will continue as the UNITED WE STAND: General Disaster Fund beginning Monday, September 7, 2026.

When the storms hit, our small but mighty team sprang into action alongside our many vital partners, helping local agencies and friends across the county address urgent needs for our community. Food aid was one of the greatest needs initially identified, and we rose to the challenge quickly, connecting people, providers, and resources.

At United Way of La Porte County, we’re always striving to improve. The recent storms reminded us that when disaster strikes, every second counts. This new General Disaster Fund will help your local United Way stand ready for our community with greater support and faster response times to provide food and basic needs during an emergency.

This work is possible because of YOU, our community. Thank you to everyone who gave to the UNITED WE FEED: Disaster Food Relief Fund and a very special thank you to 1st Source Bank for leading the way with the first major gift to the UNITED WE STAND: General Disaster Fund.

Remember, the money we raise for La Porte County, STAYS in La Porte County! You can learn more and give securely online any time at unitedwaylpc.org.
