☕ Pour yourself a cup of tea and take a few minutes to see the difference our community is making together.

Jean was just 15 when she faced challenges at school and at home. With support from a program funded by the Community Foundation and United Way of Volusia-Flagler Counties, she found a new path forward. Today, she's a proud member of the Class of 2026 and headed to Daytona State College this fall. 🎓

Stories like Jean's are possible because of generous donors, dedicated nonprofits, and caring volunteers.

On June 3rd we proudly celebrated the power of philanthropy and community leadership at our Annual Celebration of Philanthropy.

We were honored to recognize the Bowler and Ufheil families, founders of Daytona Beverages, as the 2026 Herbert M. Davidson Honorees. Their legacy of generosity, leadership, and commitment to our community has made a lasting impact. We also proudly recognized Ida Babazadeh as the 2026 Community Champion for her unwavering dedication to improving the health and well-being of our community.

Congratulations to our 2026 honorees and thank you for inspiring us all. 💙

At the 2026 Generation IMPACT Social Innovation Fund Pitch Competition, local students turned innovative ideas into real community solutions—and received grant funding to make them happen.

Congratulations to one pitcher, Florida State University MPH/MD Candidate Brittney Jabot, whose Healthy Home Starter Kits Project will help older adults live in safer, healthier homes through a partnership with the Council on Aging of Volusia County.

Big impact for our community 💙🥫

Grace Community Food Pantry received a $6,000 grant helping provide up to $30,000 in food for nearly 3,900 families across Flagler County 🙌

With 1,200–1,400 families served each week, the need is real — and growing. This support helps ensure more neighbors have access to the food they need today, while building a stronger, food-secure future 🌱
