Happy Juneteenth! 🖤❤️💚

Today, we honor the end of slavery in the United States, celebrate Black history and culture, and reflect on the ongoing work toward true freedom and equality.

At United Way of West Florida, we believe that when we are united, we build a community where everyone can thrive. Let's celebrate freedom together today!

🚨 Nearly half of our local neighbors are working hard but falling short.

New data from our partnership with United For ALICE reveals a sobering reality: 47% of Escambia County households and 36% of Santa Rosa County households can no longer afford the basic cost of survival.

These are our community's cooks, retail workers, and healthcare assistants—working families forced to make impossible daily choices between rent, groceries, and medicine.

We are using this data to guide our local work and build stronger paths to stability.
