This year’s Thanksgiving Project was our biggest yet! We distributed a record number of meal kits across Orange, Osceola, and Seminole counties.
We processed over 50 pallets of food, weighing over 50,000 pounds! With the help of over 1,000 dedicated volunteer shifts, we carefully sorted and packaged shelf stable ingredients into 5,000 kits, providing warm, nourishing meals for up to 20,000 people this Thanksgiving.
But we couldn’t have achieved this without the support of our incredible sponsors, including our Top Turkey Sponsor Smart City Telecom, partners, and host locations. A special thank you to:
Their generosity and commitment to our community made this project possible.
Together, We Can Make a Difference
By working together, we can continue to build a stronger, more compassionate community. Thank you once again for your support and for making a difference this Thanksgiving.
You can learn more about how you can continue to LIVE UNITED as a Heart of Florida United Way volunteer here.
Let’s make a lasting impact together. Over 40 percent of U.S. households are unable to afford basics, forcing them to make impossible choices and risky trade-offs every day. Consider donating to Heart of Florida United Way to help the growing number of families who are unable to afford the basics of housing, child care, food, transportation, health care, and technology.
Your donation is not only a financial contribution, but an extension of hope and lifeline for those who need it most. No matter what you donate today, your investment will make a difference. Every dollar counts. Every life matters.
