United Way of Lee, Hendry, and Glades

United Way of Lee, Hendry, and Glades United Is The Way. United Way mobilizes the community to action so all can thrive. Visit us at UnitedWayLee.org to find out more.

Our United Way has a long and proud history of serving our community. In 1957, a handful of women and men decided Fort Myers needed an organized way to help those in need. A caring community agreed and worked together to make it happen. They formed the organization that you now know as United Way of Lee, Hendry, and Glades. Over the past 65 years our United Way has raised and distributed over $221

million dollars and has helped our community’s social service network change the lives of countless numbers of people in our community. Our United Way now has over 90 Partner Agencies, more than 260 programs and initiatives, and 17 United Way Houses throughout our community.
