Each year we name the George W. Jenkins Volunteer of the Year in recognition of outstanding service to our community and United Way. This year it's Dave MacDougall!
You're helping more children to read and preparing them to be successful in school and in life. We've got 120 lending libraries, but need your help to create more.
United Way volunteers have focused our health partners on helping people stay out of emergency rooms by providing appropriate preventative care. This is Jami's story.
Participants took part in budgeting exercises, scheduled appointments for FREE Tax
preparation, and discussed credit concerns with professional credit counselors.
At United Way of Central Florida, we bring together people and resources to create lasting
change in our community. Here are 14 ways we will improve lives in Polk, Hardee, and
Highlands counties this year:
Do you have a passion for improving people's lives? Can you objectively evaluate whether or
not measurable improvements are being made people's lives? If so, we need you on our
Community Investment Teams!
If you have an income (either individual or married filing jointly) of less than $57,000,
you can have your 2013 taxes prepared by one of United Way of Central Florida's partners for
free!
We are increasing the educational success of children who who start school without the basic language skills they need to succeed, including those without a background in the English language.
