United Parcel Service (UPS) is one of United Way St. Croix Valley's top corporate partners. Each year the employees at its Baldwin, WI location rally to raise money during their United Way campaign, and this past year was no exception. The Baldwin location alone raised a total of nearly $6,400 for the local campaign. Additional donations from Minneapolis and other locations gave UPS a grand total of nearly $22,000.
UPS' Baldwin location features both a drop box and Customer Center. Offered services include ground and air shipping. Additionally, the Baldwin location also offers packaging services and supplies as well as returns.
