United Way of Lee, Hendry, and Glades counties is a fund-raiser and distributor… but it’s also much more than that. The critical needs of our community require more than just quick fixes. In this new era, we must work together with our partners in the community to realize a shared vision for change. In turn, we allow for new partners, new collaborations, and new resources, while bringing our community together to focus on issues and build solutions that will continue improve lives. No single group can address the complex problems that matter most. That is why United Way partners with 80 agencies in the community that are leading the way to address the issues that matter most in our community by improving lives and delivering meaningful results. Last year, United Way supported agencies, programs and initiatives helped improve the lives of more than 300,000 people in our community.
