Powering People. Strengthening Place. Building a More Equitable Minneapolis.
At Pillsbury United Communities, we are creating a city where every person has the opportunity to thrive. Through a powerful network of neighborhood centers and social enterprises, we work alongside individuals and families to build pathways toward prosperity, equity, and community well-being.
Every day, our mission comes to life in ways both big and small — from a hot meal shared in fellowship, to a youth discovering their voice, to neighbors uniting for systemic change.
