In 1887, a group of clergy recognized that sporadic collections were not enough to meet the needs of Denver's poor. With the help of volunteers, they were able to raise funds for food, shelter, and medical supplies. Today, with the aid of millions of volunteers, the United Way is the nation's largest and most active non-governmental community planning network.
