When neighbors come together, lives change. By supporting our Community Investment Fund, you help connect individuals and families to critical programs and services, building a stronger, more resilient community for all. Together, we can address challenges that are bigger than any one person or organization.
HOST A CAMPAIGN
Invite United Way of West Florida into your workplace so you and your colleagues have an opportunity to learn about the issues facing our community and what you can do to make a difference.
LEND YOUR TALENTS
We offer several opportunities for individuals to enhance their leadership skills through strategic volunteer experiences. Build professional development while helping to strengthen our community by joining our Board of Directors, Development Advisory Council, Ambassador Program, or other committees.
VOLUNTEER
Whether you're looking for a one-day volunteer opportunity, a quarterly service project, or an ongoing way to give back, we can help. Whether participating as an individual or alongside your coworkers, friends, or family, our team will connect you with meaningful volunteer experiences that match your interests, skills, and availability. Together, we can help strengthen our community while creating opportunities to make a lasting impact.
