JANUARY ENGAGEMENT: UNITED WE SERVE

January is the ideal time to begin the year with purpose and unity. This month, and throughout the year, we encourage volunteers to come together to support and uplift our community. By serving others, we create meaningful connections, inspire lasting change, and lay the foundation for a brighter future. Let’s set the tone for the year ahead by embracing service and building a stronger, more connected community together.

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. WEEK OF SERVICE

United Way Suncoast invites you to honor Dr. King by making his holiday “a day on, not a day off.” Our volunteer projects embody Dr. King’s wisdom, focusing on addressing food insecurity and supporting education in our community. In the Suncoast region, two out of five families struggle to meet basic household needs, with many ALICE families relying on food assistance to ease financial burdens. As Dr. King reminded us, “Everybody can be great…because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.” View our 2025 volunteer opportunities today.
