The holidays represent a season of giving, a time for joy. We get it and we love it, but at United Way Suncoast we strive to extend our giving to 365 days. We elevate early learning and education and empower families through financial stability. We work every day to give people the “Freedom To Rise,” and our mission creates a sense of community, whether it’s for people recovering from a hurricane or folks dealing with life’s daily storms. Since 1924, we’ve taken pride in responding to immediate needs while working to create lasting community impact. We’re particularly focused on our ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) families who need support 365 days a year. These are families that stand just one unexpected expense away from dire circumstances. A surprising medical expense, a critical home repair or a car issue can arise on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day or any other day. We’re here for our community members every day of the year.
