Today, the Initiative is the home base for the Northwest Minnesota Health Care Purchasing Alliance which has a goal to offer a new option for health care benefits for small business, farm families, manufacturing, local governments, and non-profits. UMC FarmWrap is part of a network of organizations dedicated to helping farm families who are facing transition. Services include informal counseling for adults to help connect them to a variety of career and lifework resources. Help is provided to farm men and women who seek employment off the farm, or who wish to return to school for further education to prepare for a new career. Vital Aging projects at UMC are responding to the special needs of older adults in the region.
Specific programs help older adults expand their options for work and personal enrichment.
RSVP offers men and women exciting opportunities for personal development and satisfaction by volunteering their time, energy, and creativity while serving their communities. RSVP also offers its volunteers benefits such as supplemental insurance coverage, mileage and meal reimbursements, and an annual recognition event.
