HARDEE COUNTY SERVICES

United Way of Central Florida has been serving the Hardee County community since 1987.  Through community involvement, assessing local needs and partnerships with qualified agencies to improve the community, services in Hardee County have grown and expanded for over 30 years.

We work hard for the ALICE families in Hardee County. These households are ALICE – Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed – earning above the Federal Poverty Level yet struggling to afford basic expenses.
