      United Way & Catholic Charities are now downtown

      Marshfield Area United Way and Catholic Charities have relocated to 156 South Central Avenue, Marshfield.  You can find us between Cole's Music and Fringe Hair Studio, across the street from Mittens.  There is parking in the front as well as a back lot.

      United Way's mailing address, PO Box 771 will remain the same.  

      The new location not only meets our basic needs, but is a beautiful affordable building that offers us the ability to improve our operational efficiency and has room for us to grow. We're really excited about this new location.

      Marshfield Area United Way’s service area includes Arpin, Auburndale, Granton, Greenwood, Loyal, Marshfield, Neillsville, Pittsville, Spencer and Stratford.  

      For more information about United Way and how you can help advance the common good, visit www.marshfieldareaunitedway.org or call 384-9992.
