Impact Areas

At United Way North Central Florida, our mission is rooted in creating lasting, positive change for our community. We focus our efforts through four key Pillars of Impact—Financial Security, Healthy Community, Youth Opportunity, and Community Resiliency. These pillars guide our programs, partnerships, and investments, ensuring we address the most pressing challenges and empower individuals and families to thrive.
