Mission: Mobilizing the power of our community to break the cycle of poverty

Trek to Tampa

Being together makes us better!


A couple weeks ago, I drove up to Tampa for a few meetings. Although, sometimes it is hard to get out of the office, I do enjoy being with like-minded leaders. There is always so much to learn.


The United Way Suncoast hosted the United Way of Florida Board meeting. In addition, I attended the VITA Communities of Practice meeting. Being part of the United Way Worldwide network gives us the opportunity to collaborate and share success stories. And it's always fun going over the Skyway Bridge.

Who are You?

Social Connection Provides a Healthy Community


By Angie Matthiessen, Executive Director


There is much to share with you in the coming months and we want to make sure we can share with you opportunities to connect. Let me ask you this. What brings you to Charlotte County? Are you working, seasonal, retired, already volunteering? Often when we are out in the community, someone will share their previous experience with a local United Way. We want to know you also.

Help us Fill the School Bus!


With the help of the Rotarians District 6960, we are looking to fill a school bus with paper products and cleaning supplies. Items will be given to Charlotte County School students, families and seniors in need.
