United Way of the Florida Keys to Assist with Hurricane Irma Relief Efforts
UWFK has created a Hurricane Irma Relief Fund to support local nonprofits directly serving the Keys community.
All dollars raised with the fund will be distributed to local nonprofits serving people who live and work throughout the Keys. These organizations work closely with our Keys residents throughout the year and will be crucial in assisting our community in rebuilding during the next several months. They have been vetted by United Way of the Florida Keys in recent years, and are some of the organizations best positioned to help meet the needs of families and individuals throughout Monroe County, proving their efficacy and commitment to positive change in our county.
Currently, funds raised by UWFK will be distributed between 16 organizations that have recently been UWFK community partners.
- Burton Memorial Church serving the Upper Keys
- Florida Keys Children’s Shelter serving children Keys-wide
- Florida Keys Outreach Coalition serving Keys-wide
