May 2025 News

Our Campaign Launches June 1: Your Gift. Their Future. United is the Way.

That's what we do at United Way Charlotte County

Our mission is to help ALICE families gain financial stability and to keep them from slipping into poverty over something as simple as a rising grocery bill.

Because for too many families, it’s not just an extra few cents per egg. It’s another crack in the fragile foundation they’re trying to stand on.

Dear Friends,

When our neighbors faced disaster, you were there. When a struggling family needed hope, you helped provide it. When a child needed someone to believe in them, you showed up.

You’ve been the heart behind our mission — and we’re so grateful. As summer unfolds, we invite you to stand with us again in our 2025 Summer Campaign. Because when you give, real change happens right here in Charlotte County. Consider a gift of $25 per month in 2025.

Thank you — deeply and sincerely. Your presence, your effort, your thoughtfulness… they mattered. And they made a difference.

Guided by Grace, Driven to Serve, Our VITA Volunteers!

Through our Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA), 1,173 families accessed free tax preparation and put more of their refund dollars back into household budgets with and economic impact of $1,472,120.

With heartfelt gratitude, we thank 38 dedicated volunteers for the 3,944 hours you've poured into our mission. Your unwavering compassion, and hard work are the foundation of everything we do.

Your commitment strengthens our community, and reminds us of the extraordinary impact that kindness, dedication, and shared purpose can achieve. We are deeply grateful for the difference you make every single day.
