Please visit the new page to apply.
United Way Suncoast has been serving our community for nearly 100 years by addressing access to quality education, removing barriers to financial stability, and providing support in a crisis. We dismantle the barriers to human prosperity, uniting our community along the way. With the rising cost of inflation, many low-income families across the Suncoast region have found themselves struggling to combat new financial challenges. Fresh Produce Kits can provide nutritional supports to our targeted communities where people have limited access to a variety of healthy and affordable food. For information on how to build these kits, please email: jjalloway@uwsuncoast.org

Description
United Way Suncoast Strategic Plan is to " Break the cycle of generational poverty through educational programs that give children the skills to succeed and help adults achieve long-term financial stability so they can support themselves and their families."
Working together with volunteers, agency partners, community leaders and key stakeholders, the plan focuses on three priority impact areas:- Early Literacy - If a child isn’t reading at grade level by 4th grade, s/he is four times more likely to drop out of school.
- Youth Success - A child who doesn’t graduate from high school earns 75% less than peers who do.
- Financial Stability - Building financial knowledge and employability skills help create more stable and secure households and communities.
In addition, we will continue funding aligned Support Services (health, food, shelter, etc) to help hard working individuals and families move past immediate crisis that may prevent them from participating in United Way programs that address their long-term needs.
