United Way of Florence County Announces New Focus Areas

Following a year of community conversation and extensive study, United Way of Florence County has announced three new focus areas supporting its long-standing efforts to improve education, health and financial stability in the area.

In education, the organization will prioritize expanding opportunities and activities in early childhood.  Health efforts will focus on improving services supporting mental health, and in the area of financial stability, United Way will work to promote home rehabilitation and meet basic needs.

“The transition to the collective impact model has given us an important opportunity to thoroughly assess our area’s specific challenges and identify the kinds of efforts that can best move the community forward,” Webb said.  “The task force has taken a very hands-on approach to this work, and we believe we have set targets that can make a real and lasting difference in the lives of the people we’re here to serve.”
