Women United Holiday Luncheon

13th Annual Women United Holiday Luncheon 

Kick off the holiday season with one of North Central Florida's most anticipated annual events! The 13th Annual Women United Holiday Luncheon brings together community leaders, local businesses, and supporters for an afternoon of inspiration, holiday shopping, and giving back.

Hosted by United Way North Central Florida, this signature event benefits ReadingPals, an early literacy program that helps local children build the reading skills they need to succeed in school and in life.

Whether you're attending with friends, coworkers, or family, you'll enjoy an unforgettable afternoon while making a meaningful impact.

Holiday Shopping with Local Vendors

Looking for unique holiday gifts while supporting local businesses?

Our holiday marketplace features a carefully curated collection of local vendors offering:

• Boutique clothing and accessories
• Handmade gifts and artisan products
• Jewelry
• Home décor
• Gourmet treats and specialty foods
• Seasonal gifts and holiday favorites

It's the perfect opportunity to shop local, discover one-of-a-kind gifts, and support small businesses before the holiday rush begins.

Support Early Childhood Literacy Through ReadingPals

Women United is a passionate network of women who believe every child deserves the opportunity to succeed.

Proceeds from the Holiday Luncheon support United Way North Central Florida's ReadingPals program, which pairs trained volunteers with Pre-K through 3rd grade students to strengthen literacy skills, boost confidence, and foster a lifelong love of reading.

Because reading proficiently by third grade is one of the strongest predictors of future academic success, every ticket purchased helps create brighter futures for local children.
