Welcome to United Way Suncoast's Impact Insights!
United Way Suncoast
Impacting lives in DeSoto, Hillsborough, Manatee, Pinellas & Sarasota counties.
As excited as I am about celebrating our 100 years of service, I’m equally if not maybe even a little more excited about our next century of service. There is no shortage of challenges in front of us to tackle.? Florida is growing and so are our challenges. We need our United Way to be strong, to be there so we can be that inclusive, viable community and a place for everyone to succeed. That’s our vision. I think that UW and all of our work and the way we continue to evolve and strengthen our organization is only going to make our community stronger. One of the bellwether indicators of a strong community is a strong United Way. When you have a strong United Way, you know that the community is coming together to tackle challenges. There are a ton of innovative and exciting ways we’re doing that and I can’t wait to involve the community in every single one of them. I’m super excited about the role United Way Suncoast is going to play in elevating the region and elevating all of our communities.
