Imagine having to choose between putting food on the table, paying rent, affording transportation or paying for childcare. Which one would you choose? These are the choices many individuals and families face every day, especially in these uncertain economic times. At United Against Poverty Orlando, our mission to serve those in need can only happen through philanthropic support. Please join me and make a financial gift today!

Through the generosity of financial donations from our Central Florida community, United Against Poverty Orlando is able to provide resources that make these choices more manageable.

For instance:

• Our Member Share Grocery Program allows a family to put healthy and nutritional food on the table for up to 70% off of a traditional grocery store. This allows individuals in need to redistribute their income to other life essentials.

Through the efforts of donors and volunteers, United Against Poverty is able to help those who are unemployed get back to work.

• Our Workforce Development Program – Success Training Employment Program – helps adult learners enhance their job-readiness skills through emotional intelligence, empowerment training and success coaching.
• Our Crisis Stabilization Program provides crisis care and case management for those in emergency situations. Participants are provided resources to address immediate needs such as emergency food and housing assistance. Once stabilized, we work to identify underlying issues and provide long-term support through a case management model.

It’s through the generosity of time, talent and philanthropic support, that we at United Against Poverty Orlando are able to meet these challenges and lift the lives of those struggling. Our services and resources are designed to assist families with a hand up not a hand out with the highest order of care through integrity, compassion, respect and inclusion.

For a year that has been met with one challenge after another, we have the opportunity to change course by providing hope for those in our community. Join me in making a donation so our families, neighbors and friends have the support they need and come through whatever crisis they are experiencing on the better side.
