United is The Way to Healthy Community
Everyone deserves the opportunity to live their healthiest life. At United Way, we help people overcome barriers to good health by improving access to nutritious food and quality health education and services, including preventative care, mental health support, and more.
Our Focus
Improving health and wellbeing for all.
Our Strategy
Identify gaps in community services and create, partner, or invest in programs that help ALICE households improve their access to health care services and nutritious food, especially for those households in underserved, rural communities.
Our Programs
SingleCare - We partner with SingleCare to help our community access affordable prescription medications, ensuring greater health and financial stability.
Our Collaborations
Alachua County Safety Net Collaborative - The Safety Net Collaborative is an independent, egalitarian, nonpartisan, interprofessional, and interdisciplinary volunteer organization whose members work across silos, remove barriers, and close holes in the healthcare and social services safety nets.
