Our goal is always to meet the current needs of our residents, to fill gaps wherever there may be a gap in services. Bridgebuilders will help to reduce duplication of effort among our non-profit partners, to understand as a collective where additional services are needed and plans for making the critical changes needed to be as effective and supportive as possible.

Andrew Bregar is the most recent member to join the United Way of West Central Minnesota board, and he is excited to utilize his skills and experience to make a difference both on the board and within the West Central Minnesota area.

After moving to Willmar in 2019, Andrew had sought out opportunities to give back to the community and began serving on the Vision 2040 design team. The COVID pandemic made it challenging to find additional opportunities, so when he was approached about joining the United Way board, he jumped at the chance. Andrew had always been impressed by the programs and services provided by the United Way locally, and he looks forward to being an active part of the team. Andrew was impressed to see that the board is a “working” board, and each member plays a hands-on role in ensuring the organization is as effective as possible. He has also appreciated the fact that while there are ample opportunities to give to the United Way, he has never felt pressured to do so. Ours is a close-knit team and we are fortunate to add Andrew to it.
