HIGHLANDS COUNTY

United Way of Central Florida has been serving the Highlands County community for over 30 years by understanding local needs and contracting with qualified partners to improve the community. The Highlands County Division was added to the service area in 1987.

What’s special about Highlands County is that all the money raised in Highlands County, stays in Highlands County. Donations made in the county stay local to help those that need it most.

For more information about United Way’s programs in Highlands County view our Highlands County Partners or contact Shawn Beumel, Director of Highlands County at 863.648.1500, ext. 230.
