In addition to providing funding to those 43 partner agencies, our United Way is committed to trying to prevent people from needing those agency services. We are committed to

So, our education, income, and health focus is going to make a huge difference in people's lives. I want to

Through your generosity, the United Way is able to work with and support agencies on a daily basis. Many of those agencies are located right here in our very own community and helping many residents whom we serve on a daily basis as public servants. Agencies rely

We do lots of work for seniors. We try to do as many programs as possible, meeting the needs of our seniors from the time they turn 55 and beyond. Aging Matters is extremely grateful to United Way in Brevard through the money that you will be giving to United Way so that we can take care of your grandparents, your parents, and your other loved ones, your next door neighbors, who depend on Aging Matters for everything they need to stay living healthy. Well, and independent in their own homes.

Our mission here is to provide emergency assistance to those in our community who struggle to obtain life's most basic needs. And I really like to break that down as the food on your table, the shirt on your back, and the roof over your head. That's what we help people obtain and sustain each and every day here at the Sharing Center. The United Way is so important to our day-to-day mission. Their financial support really means that we can help more people, especially here in the Cocoa area, where about 70% of all of our clients come from. Each day we provide food for more than 65 individuals.

We are the only consistent feeding site in Central Brevard, so we offer a hot meal six days a week and a bag of lunch on Sundays. We also provide bags of food on the weekends. Besides the food aspect and dealing with hunger, we also provide many different levels of assistance. We help people here in our own community get off the streets. The funding brought by the United Way helps us each and every day to meet our mission. We provide more than $1.4 million worth of services

Being the Sharing Center and helping those in our community. The United Way donation is very important. The impact that it has on agencies like ours helped us meet the needs from hundreds to thousands each year. If you've given in the past, thank you so much. If you haven't, please consider to do so.

We would be able to provide the assistance in regards to clothing and health and hygiene items. That one dollar means a lot. So thank you very much again for supporting the United Way and their campaign. And thank you for supporting the Central Bar Sharing Center. Without you, we would just not be able to provide, again, the level of service. And we simply exist because of the kindness and generosity of others. So thank you very much.

swim lessons the opportunity to take swim lessons. Florida is the number one leader in the country for drownings for children ages one to four. Without the help from the United Way, we wouldn't be able to make an impact. It's our mission to make sure that no one in this community drowns and all children have the opportunity to learn how to swim. And with the United Way helping us and supporting us with that, it makes us even better and gives us the opportunity to reach out to more children every year. So by helping and donating to the United Way, you're helping those right here in the Coco community and all the kids and giving them the opportunity to learn how to swim and potentially saving their lives.

And we also have the Summer Read and Feed program that allows the kids to take home a meal pack on Friday so that they have good nutrition over the weekend when they're not at the club. So I want to thank you all for being past contributors and hopefully current contributors. All of the dollars that are raised here in our community do stay here. We wouldn't be able to have the services that we have without United Way so I hope that you consider when you're making that donation how much you might be able to give out of your paycheck to support United Way and support programs like ours at the Boys and Girls Club.
As you can see, we have great organizations that help our community and make a difference each day. Programs like these are what your generous support funds. Your dollars also help out fellow employees who utilize many of the great services offered through the United Way such as their free tax preparation services and financial management and counseling services.
